Lancaster Motorcycle Accident Attorney
Pennsylvania Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Mikus Law Associates has over 25 years experience representing injured motorcyclists and families in the Lancaster area and throughout the southeast Pennsylvania region. We purposefully limit our caseloads to ensure that our attorneys always have the time and financial resources required to take on the insurance companies effectively in these cases.

For the most part, the same laws apply in cases involving motorcycles as in cases involving cars. However, there are some important insurance coverage issues that are specific to accidents involving motorcyclists. More importantly, the principal areas where accidents that involve motorcycles differ from auto accidents are:

  • Proving why and how the accident happened.
  • Issues involving the “visibility” of the motorcycle.
  • Eye witnesses (especially if they do not ride themselves) often substantially over estimate the speed of a motorcycle.
  • Accident victims in cases involving motorcycles are likely to be more seriously injured. Motorcyclists injured in an accident are more likely to suffer severe leg injuries (including amputations), traumatic brain injury (TBI) and spinal cord injuries (SCI).

While it is important in any accident to have a prompt and thorough investigation—IT IS CRITICAL TO DO SO IN A MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT.

Reconstruction of how the accident happened is often more difficult when a motorcycle is involved because of the tremendous disparity between the weight of the motorcycle and the weight of the vehicle that struck it. Fortunately for our clients, founding attorney Kent Mikus, earned a degree in mechanical engineering from Carnegie-Mellon University prior to becoming a lawyer. Because of this background, our firm is able to work closely with accident reconstruction experts to quickly and thoroughly inspect the accident scene, document any damage to the vehicles, and preserve other vital pieces of evidence that can help us to establish your claim in court.

In all of our personal injury work, we use a team approach so that even if the attorney handling your case is in court, someone should be able to speak to you about your immediate concern.
