Pennsylvania Safety Laws for Motorcyclists
According to the PA Department of Transportation, which implemented the Live Free Ride Alive program to lower the number of annual motorcycle-related crashes, injuries, and fatalities, Pennsylvania has nearly 850,000 registered motorcyclists. To help motorcyclists stay safe, the state requires riders to wear helmets. Known as the Pennsylvania Helmet Law, riders must wear protective headgear unless they are over 21 years old, completed a PennDOT-approved motorcycle safety course, and have been licensed to operate a two-wheeled vehicle for at least two calendar years. Individuals with motorcycle learner’s permits must also wear helmets. All riders and passengers must wear eye protection regardless of age.
Comparative Negligence
Local attorneys handling motorcycle crash cases often investigate whether the biker was adhering to these safety gear requirements. This is because riders who do not follow these laws will likely see the amount of requested damages reduced due to contributory negligence factors.
Negligence laws vary by state and require a court to assign a percentage of blame to both parties in a civil case. While a claimant being partially at fault for their injuries will not necessarily prevent them from recovering compensation, it could greatly diminish their award. For example, if a motorcyclist was not wearing a helmet or did not have the appropriate licensing at the time of the crash, the court would assign them a portion of the blame. If the biker is found to be 30 percent at fault for the accident, they can only recover up to 70 percent of their total damage award.
Common Causes for Motorcycle Wrecks in Bala Cynwyd
Many motorbike crashes occur due to drivers operating their motor vehicle in a reckless or careless manner. In addition to speeding, lawyers in Bala Cynwyd who handle motorcycle collision cases see crashes caused by:
- Distracted driving
- Drunk driving
- Ignoring stop signs and red lights
- Tailgating
- Failing to check the blind spot
- Failing to use turn signals
- Taking turns too closely
- Road hazards
Motorcyclists often request higher damage amounts than other vehicle accident plaintiffs due to them suffering catastrophic harm. Riders may seek financial compensation for their medical expenses, lost wages due to missed work time, motorcycle repairs or replacement, pain and suffering, mental anguish, and reduced quality of life. If the motorcyclist was killed in the accident, the biker’s family could file a wrongful death claim.
