Motorcycle Accidents May Result in Severe Injuries

Motorcycles are practical, economical and fun to ride. But riders face higher risks than drivers of cars and insurance companies typically find the biker at fault.

Don't let the insurance companies decide what happens after your motorcycle accident. A skilled attorney can examine all the possible causes of your accident so you get the full compensation you deserve. The attorneys at Flager & Yockey, P.C. have the resources and knowledge to aggressively represent victims of motorcycle accidents.

With little to protect them against crashes, motorcycle riders are vulnerable to injuries on open roads in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Nearly 5,300 motorcyclists died in accidents in the United States in 2008, according to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration. Motorcycle riders can take safety precautions to reduce the risk of accidents and injuries.

If you or a loved one was injured in a motorcycle accident, you can seek justice with the help of a qualified attorney. Flager & Yockey, P.C. can help protect your rights.

Motorcycle Accident Fatalities On the Rise

Between 1997 and 2008, motorcycle rider fatalities rose by 150 percent, from 2,116 to 5,290, according to U.S. Department of Transportation's Fatality Analysis Reporting System. In 2008 alone, fatalities due to motorcycle crashes increased by an estimated 2.2 percent while all other vehicle classes saw reductions in fatalities.

Even the safest and most conscientious rider is at risk for accidents. With or without a helmet and protective safety gear, motorcycle accident victims may experience significant injuries such as brain injuries.

Motorcycle riders injured in accidents - unlike victims of car accidents - normally cannot recover medical expenses through their motor vehicle insurance policy. Instead, they often have to seek compensation from their own health insurance.

Flager & Yockey, P.C. can work with you to get the money owed to you for your losses. We can help take the pressure off you and your family when you should be most concerned about your health.

Remember, don't sign anything from an insurance company official without first speaking to an experienced personal injury attorney.
