Motorcyclists often enjoy the freedom and fresh air of riding on open roads. Unfortunately, this freedom exposes them to danger. Motorcyclists are more vulnerable to suffering life-threatening injuries when cars hit them or push them off their bikes. Unlike occupants of cars or trucks, who benefit from airbags, bumpers, and enclosed steel frames, motorcyclists typically rely only on a helmet for protection. Motorcycles also lack seatbelts to hold riders in place, and collisions can send riders careening off their bikes into traffic.
Our York lawyers have extensive experience handling wrongful death lawsuits after fatal motorcycle wrecks. We understand the unique procedural and emotional challenges involved in pursuing compensation after losing a loved one. If your family is coping with such a loss, reach out to Clark & Howell to discuss your legal options.

Drivers in a rush may tailgate or crowd motorcycles, causing riders to lose balance and fall.
