Carol Rosenbloom Associates, LLC | Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaMotorcycle Accident Lawyer • Head Injury Attorney When a car or truck is involved in a collision with a motorcycle, the motorcycle always loses. And in many cases, the motorcycle rider loses a great deal more. As most sports fans around the country now know, Pennsylvania has a no helmet law. However, whether a motorcyclist wears a helmet, his or her chances of surviving a collision with a much larger, much heavier vehicle without suffering major catastrophic injuries are, at best, minimal. Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)Insurance companies may attempt to shift the blame from the at-fault driver to the motorcyclist, and argue that the motorcyclist contributed to his or her injury by not wearing a helmet, even when the accident was not his/her fault. If you were involved in a motorcycle accident and were not wearing a helmet, you need an experienced motorcycle attorney to handle your case. Failure to wear a helmet makes motorcyclists particularly vulnerable to traumatic brain injury, or TBI, in the event of an accident. TBI is a serious brain injury that can affect personality, speech, cognitive thinking, motor skills, and all other abilities. Many patients with a TBI are no longer able to work; most of those require full-time care and suffer extreme financial hardships as a result of mounting medical bills. The emotional trauma resulting from such brain injuries often affects the victim’s family, as well. In many cases, accidents that result in such serious injuries as TBI are the fault of reckless or negligent automobile or truck drivers. If someone you love has sustained a traumatic brain injury, our attorneys may be able to help you. Contact Carol Rosenbloom Associates LLC for a review of your case today. DisfigurementBecause motorcyclists do not have the impact-reducing shell that automobile drivers have to protect them during accidents, motorcycle riders are at increased risk for severe injury. Hard falls, collision impact, bone breaks, burns, and other injuries can cause permanent disfigurement. This disfigurement is not only emotionally difficult to accept, but it can also affect the victim’s ability to perform job duties, interact comfortably in social situations, and even complete daily tasks. It can ultimately lead to severe depression or the inability to function normally. If you or a loved one has been disfigured in a motorcycle accident, our attorneys may be able to help you obtain compensation for your pain, suffering, and other damages. Please contact Carol Rosenbloom Associates LLC today for an evaluation of your case.

FracturesA fall during a motorcycle accident can result in any number of debilitating injuries, including road rash, sprains, cuts, and fractures. Bone fractures are particularly painful and require a lengthy recovery. Having to wear a cast can seriously affect your ability to go about your daily activities. You might be unable to perform your job duties, exercise, or participate in recreational activities. You may also lose the ability to drive.

We are experienced in all areas of personal injury law and will build the strongest case possible to ensure that those at fault are made to answer for their negligence. Road RashA common injury for motorcycle accident victims, “road rash” consists of severe bruises, cuts, and scraps usually acquired from sliding across the asphalt. While many motorcyclists wear special attire such as thick, durable denim or leather, they are still susceptible to these painful skin injuries. While the cuts and scrapes can be minor, if left untreated or infection develops, “road rash” can become more serious. Although many motorcyclists wear clothing made of such thick, durable materials as denim or leather, they are still susceptible to painful skin injuries when they are involved in an accident. Known collectively as “road rash,” injuries such as bruises, skinned knees, and wounds with gravel in them can become serious if an infection develops or if they go untreated. Road rash can also be traumatic in cases of high-speed crashes. If you or someone you love has suffered road rash in a motorcycle accident, our attorneys in Pennsylvania would be pleased to review your case. Spinal Cord InjuriesAmong the most debilitating of all injuries, spinal cord injuries are almost always long-term and result in permanent injuries in most cases. A majority of victims require full-time care and will never be able to work again. Many motorcycle accidents resulting in spinal cord injuries are caused by someone else’s negligent or careless driving. If you or a loved one has suffered a spinal cord injury, the attorneys at Carol Rosenbloom Associates LLC may be able to help you obtain compensation for your damages.
