FAQ Wilkes-Barre Motorcycle Accident Lawyers
1. What should I do right after a motorcycle accident in Wilkes-Barre?
First, get medical care—even if injuries seem minor. Then, call the police so there’s an official report. Take photos of the crash scene, your bike, and any injuries. Collect contact information from any witnesses. Finally, contact us at Metzger Wickersham before providing detailed statements to insurance adjusters.2. Why choose Metzger Wickersham for a motorcycle injury claim?
At our Wilkes-Barre office, we have decades of experience in serious injury cases. We know how to build strong cases against negligent or reckless drivers. We handle everything—from investigation and evidence gathering to settlement negotiations or trial—to help you recover damages.3. Who can be held responsible in a Pennsylvania motorcycle crash?
Liability often lies with other drivers who act negligently—like speeding, failing to yield, or distracted driving. But other parties might also be at fault, such as municipalities for poor road maintenance. We investigate all possible sources of responsibility.4. How is fault determined in a Pennsylvania motorcycle accident?
Pennsylvania applies a modified comparative negligence rule. This means you can recover damages only if you are less than 51% at fault, and your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. We work to minimize any unfair blame assigned to you.5. What kinds of compensation can Metzger Wickersham help me recover?
You may recover:- Medical costs (past and future)
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Motorcycle repair or replacement
- Other accident-related losses
6. Is there a deadline (statute of limitations) for filing a motorcycle accident suit in Pennsylvania?
Yes. You generally have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit under Pennsylvania law. (This is standard for personal injury claims, though certain cases may vary.) Prompt consultation helps protect your rights.7. How do you charge for motorcycle accident cases?
We work on a contingency fee basis: there is no upfront cost. You pay only if we recover compensation for you. This ensures you can focus on healing while we handle the legal work.
