Our Attorneys Will Waste No Time in Building and Completing Your Case

Contact Liable Insurance Companies
Your lawyer will handle the claims process for you. They will reach out to insurers in good faith. If insurance companies need any statements or information from you, they will go through your attorney.
Obtain Evidence of Negligence
Determining liability means we must show that the other driver was somehow negligent. While many motorists do not intend to hurt others, their actions still result in financial losses, physical harm, and emotional distress for injured parties. Our Upper Darby motorcycle accident attorneys must:
- Establish a duty of care: Our lawyers must determine if the driver had a duty to act in a certain way to prevent harm. When it comes to vehicle crashes, drivers owe a duty of care to everyone else on the road.
- Demonstrate a breach in this standard of care: Next, our team must show that the driver did not uphold this duty. For example, drunk or distracted driving is inherently dangerous and counts as a breach.
- Show causation between the driver’s actions and your motorcycle crash: It’s not enough to only show a breach in the standard of care—our team must be able to show a direct link between the other driver’s actions and your accident.
- Prove that you have damages and losses: Another important factor in proving negligence is showing that you have injuries, financial losses, and other damages from this accident.
Proof of the above are crucial for any motorcycle collision. Some evidence common in motorcycle accident cases include:
- The rider’s account of the collision
- Eyewitness accounts of the collision
- Video footage of the crash
- Photographs of damage to the motorcycle and any other vehicle(s) involved in the accident
Your lawyer will quickly pursue all evidence that helps prove fault for your accident.
Document Your Damages
Your Upper Darby motorcycle accident lawyer from Kalikhman & Rayz will tell your story, and that means diving into the many ways your injuries and losses have impacted your life. We will consult directly with your medical providers, mental health service providers, and anyone else who can testify to your damages.
We will have these experts discuss your physical health and outlook, and what difficulties you may encounter because of your injuries. We can also speak to mental health professionals and even your friends and family about the emotional and personal struggles you are facing. Your own testimony about your losses is just as important, and we make sure your voice is heard.
Negotiate a Settlement (or Multiple Settlements) for You
Our team will fight for the financial recovery you deserve. We are always prepared to take legal action and go to trial, which allows us to negotiate from a position of strength and confidence.
Recoverable Damages for Injured Riders Can Be Substantial
Your Upper Darby motorcycle collision lawyer will evaluate the economic and non-economic harm you’re facing because of the crash. Some damages we frequently observe among injured riders are:
- Medical bills
- Pain and suffering
- Lost income
- Diminished earning capacity
- Long-term disability
- Motorcycle repair costs
Let us relentlessly pursue the justice every injured rider is entitled to. Our Upper Darby attorneys don’t require any upfront or out-of-pocket payment from you. If we win, your lawyer receives the agreed-upon percentage of the recovery.

FAQs
Can bias against motorcyclists affect my injury claim?
Yes. Riders are sometimes unfairly portrayed as reckless, even when another motorist caused the collision. If this bias goes unchallenged, it can influence insurance negotiations and liability determinations. An Upper Darby motorcycle accident attorney can counter these assumptions with evidence that focuses on the actual cause of the crash rather than stereotypes about riders.
Do I still have a claim if the driver who hit my motorcycle claims they never saw me?
This is one of the most common defenses in motorcycle accident cases. Legally, failing to see a motorcyclist is not the same as exercising reasonable care. An Upper Darby motorcycle accident lawyer at Kalikhman & Rayz can use witness testimony, crash reconstruction evidence, and vehicle damage analysis to determine whether the driver failed to keep a proper lookout.
Can damaged riding gear help prove my motorcycle accident case?
Yes. Helmets, jackets, gloves, and other riding gear often provide valuable evidence about impact forces and how the collision occurred. Discarding these items too early can eliminate important proof. An Upper Darby motorcycle accident attorney may use damaged gear alongside medical records and photographs to support the claim.
Who do I sue if road conditions contributed to my motorcycle crash?
Motorcycles are more vulnerable to hazards such as potholes, loose gravel, uneven pavement, and debris. If a dangerous roadway condition contributed to the collision, responsibility may extend beyond another driver. A motorcycle accident lawyer in Upper Darby can investigate whether a municipality, contractor, or property owner played a role in causing the crash.
