Serving Philadelphia, Montgomery, Bucks, Delaware, Chester Counties, and Eastern Pennsylvania
Motorcycling is extremely popular in Pennsylvania and across the country. The freedom of the open road leads many to ride. According to the Department of Transportation, there are about 8.5 million registered motorcycles in the United States. Even the most experienced motorcyclists face significant risks and extra dangers that automobile drivers do not.
In 2020, there were approximately 3,398 motorcycle accidents in Pennsylvania. Of these accidents, 215 were fatal. Because motorcycles lack the crash protection and the airbags that are standard safety features in a car, motorcyclists are much more vulnerable to serious bodily injury and fatalities than drivers of other vehicles.
