Injured in a Motorcycle Accident? Knafo Law Offices Can Help.
Motorcyclists are in danger of experiencing catastrophic, life-threatening injuries if they are involved in traffic accidents. In fact, according National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) accident statistics from 2016, motorcyclists accounted for 14% of all traffic fatalities.
It is easy to see why this is the case when you consider they are relatively unprotected in the event of a collision. Even a Department of Transportation (DOT)-approved helmet and other protective gear may do little to prevent serious trauma in a high-speed or high-impact crash.
The severity of motorcycle accidents and the complexity of resulting insurance claims are two reasons you should consult an experienced attorney if you or a loved one has been injured. Knafo Law Offices is committed to representing riders across Pennsylvania who have been injured in motorcycle accidents. Our experience in this specific area of personal injury law has enabled us to help injured riders and their families face more stable futures, free from overwhelming medical debt.

What to Do After a Motorcycle Accident
The immediate aftermath of a motorcycle accident is crucial. The sooner you act, the better your chances of making a positive recovery and winning your personal injury case.
The first and most important thing you should do after a motorcycle collision is:
- Seek medical attention
We absolutely cannot stress this enough. When a biker is struck by a motor vehicle, they may sustain serious internal injuries that can remain latent for days or even weeks. It is vital that you seek medical attention as soon as you can after your accident to prevent such injuries from getting worse.
If you are seriously hurt, call 911 and head to the hospital right away. Otherwise, remain on the scene until you complete the next steps before heading to a doctor for a checkup.
Once you have made sure that you are not in immediate danger, do the following:
- Collect photographic evidence of the crash scene by taking as many pictures as you can
- Exchange contact and insurance information with any other drivers involved in the crash
- Contact the authorities and wait for them to file an accident report
- Contact your insurance company to inform them of the accident—but do not agree to any settlements or sign anything yet
- Keep copies of any receipts, records, and other documentation related to your accident and the aftermath
- Schedule a free consultation with a local motorcycle accident lawyer to discuss your case
