Helmet law and fault
Pennsylvania permits riders 21 and older who meet certain requirements to ride without a helmet (75 Pa.C.S. § 3525). Helmet use may still be raised by insurers; how it affects a claim depends on the facts.
Common causes
Left-turn crashes, unsafe lane changes, road hazards such as potholes, and drivers who fail to see motorcycles.
Frequently asked questions
Can a motorcycle passenger bring a claim?
Yes. Passengers may have claims against the other driver, and in some situations the operator, as well as available UM/UIM coverage.
