As exciting and efficient as motorcycles may be, they also have the potential to cause serious bodily injury to riders when they are involved in accidents. According to data published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there were approximately 82,000 motorcyclists injured in accidents in 2010 alone. Motorcyclists do not enjoy the same protections of a vehicle body that other motorists do, and can easily be thrown from their vehicles in the event of a collision. As a result, motorcyclists are at a significant risk of injury when they are involved in accidents.
Fortunately, Pennsylvania law allows people who are injured in motorcycle accidents caused by negligence to recover for their injuries by filing a personal injury claim. It is extremely important, therefore, for anyone who has been injured in a motorcycle accident to discuss their case with an experienced Pittsburgh personal injury lawyer as soon as possible.
In order for a person to successfully recover after a motorcycle accident, he or she must be able to establish that the accident was the result of someone else’s negligence. In personal injury law, the term “negligence” has a very specific meaning – specifically, it refers to conduct that falls short of the level of care that would be exercised by a “reasonable person.” Some examples of the types of negligent conduct that may result in a motorcycle accident include the following:
After a motorcycle accident, an experienced Pittsburgh personal injury lawyer will be able to review the facts of your case and determine whether any evidence of negligence exists. There are many parties who could potentially be held liable in a motorcycle accident case, including vehicle drivers, vehicle manufacturers, government entities, and other motorcyclists. Because of the potential complexities involved in motorcycle accident cases, it is important for victims to discuss their case with an attorney.
Motorcycle accidents are capable of causing a variety of injuries, some of which may be serious. Among the most common are:
The injuries that a person can sustain in a motorcycle accident have the potential to cause long-term medical complications that may result in significant medical expenses and the need for ongoing care. In addition, victims may be left with disabilities that keep them from working or even living independently. As a result, it is extremely important that victims ensure that their rights are protected by discussing their case with an experienced attorney as soon as possible.

I am an out of State client, over 1500 miles away, and through the 2 years of work on my case I never met anyone from the firm in person, yet they treated me like I lived down the street from the office.
I am very pleased with the professional teamwork, and their patience and timely responses to my requests and to the task at hand. They did all they could do to help with the difficult facts of my case, and I am pleased with the outcome. I would recommend this law firm to anyone with the assurance they would offer the same quality service to them as they did to me. Thank you Flaherty Fardo, Carole J. Boyd
Couldn't have asked for a better experience. They are a wonderful group who are efficient, patient, communicative and do their job very well.
They kept me in the loop the whole time and were extremely helpful. I have used a different firm in the past and this was like night and day. If you are considering using Flaherty Fardo for your assessment appeal (or likely anything else they practice) then you found what you are looking for. A special thank you to Nicole who spearheaded my case and answered my never-ending questions. Top notch!
"Highly Recommended" just isn't enough praise. They are by far the best I have ever worked with.
Professional, but beyond that their personal touch is exactly what a medical malpractice client or personal injury client needs. Noah Fardo is amazing, but the entire firm were great to us. I honestly can't thank Bill Rogel, Nicole Hauptman Amick, and Jaclyn Gibson enough. Thank you all.
