At Kalikhman & Rayz, LLC, our attorneys see collision cases in Allentown regularly. We see how careless and reckless drivers cause motorcyclists to wreck, lay down their bikes, or crash trying to avoid a collision. We know the role speeding, weather, heavy traffic, drunk or drugged driving, distractions, and aggressive driving play.
We also know how to identify the direct cause of the collision and identify the party liable for the crash. Generally, intersections tend to be the most dangerous place for motorcyclists in Allentown. Other drivers cause intersection collisions by:
Some of the intersections where local news reports and traffic sites report frequent accidents in the area include:
Motorcycle accidents often leave motorcyclists with serious or catastrophic injuries. Allentown is home to a Level I trauma center at Lehigh Valley Hospital (LVH)–Cedar Crest. This facility is well-equipped to deal with traumatic injuries from motorcycle accidents, including the state’s largest burn center.
Some of the common injuries our clients receive that require care at a trauma center include:
Many injured motorcyclists are confused about who is legally responsible for their bills and financial losses following a crash. This likely stems from Pennsylvania’s no-fault car insurance (limited tort coverage) option. While Pennsylvania’s Automobile Insurance Guide explains that drivers can purchase no-fault insurance or opt out of this type of coverage, it is never an option for motorcyclists.
Motorcyclists are not eligible for “first party” benefits through a no-fault policy even if they carry one because they also drive a passenger vehicle. Instead, they have full tort privileges. Motorcyclists can hold the at-fault driver legally responsible for the crash they caused and recover compensation through their auto liability policy.

As we handle your case, we will navigate the process to develop a compelling case and pursue a payout. This includes steps such as:
As car accident attorneys, we know what it takes to negotiate a fair settlement for our clients. We fight for the maximum compensation you deserve and pursue justice through an insurance claim settlement or court award.
Our Allentown attorneys like to start motorcycle accident cases as early in the process as possible. This is primarily because the insurance companies are not on your side. They will attempt to reduce or deny your payout through questionable means, such as asking you to give a recorded statement. If you do this, they could use your own words against you, even if you were on painkillers or other medications at the time.
We also want to go to work quickly because we need to preserve evidence that might not be available later.
Sometimes, key evidence in these cases is lost or destroyed before anyone acts to preserve it. For example, many businesses keep surveillance videos for only a week or two. If the police do not obtain this video and we do not yet know about your case, any video of the accident could be lost.
Other types of time-sensitive evidence include eyewitness statements and information from an accident scene survey. We need to identify and interview witnesses as soon as possible to ensure they have detailed, accurate memories of the crash.
Like every state, Pennsylvania has a statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit based on accident injuries. Under 42 Pa. C.S.A. § 5524(2), most motorcycle accident victims in Allentown have two years to file their complaint. This deadline applies to wrongful death cases, as well.
