Motorcycle Accidents Caused by Phantom Drivers
If you were injured in a motorcycle crash caused by a phantom driver or another complex motorcycle accident in Western Pennsylvania or Eastern Ohio, call the Law Offices of Dallas W. Hartman at 1-866-586-1910.
Many motorcycle accident cases are caused by what is known as a “phantom driver.” This is a vehicle that pulls out in front of a motorcyclist, crosses the center line into the bike's lane or makes an unsafe left-hand turn, cutting off the motorcycle’s path and causing a crash.
Phantom driver accidents may or may not involve an actual collision with the car or truck. Unlike a hit and run accident, the injuries may result from the biker losing control after swerving in an effort to avoid hitting the other driver's vehicle.
If you were badly hurt or a loved one has died in a motorcycle crash caused by a phantom driver, you need the immediate help of an experienced attorney who will fight to get you the full and fair insurance coverage you need. Contact us today for a free consultation to discuss your injuries and any potential claims you may have against the other driver.
Uninsured Motorist Insurance in Phantom Driver Cases
In any situation in which a motorcycle accident results from a collision or near-collision with an unknown vehicle, it will almost certainly be necessary to file a claim with the biker's own insurance company – in many of these circumstances the vehicle’s driver may not even be aware that any injuries occurred. He or she could have just kept right on driving, distracted by a cell phone, cup of coffee, loud radio or other issue. At the Law Offices of Dallas W. Hartman, we know that due to underlying societal prejudices and biases, the insurance companies are not always on the side of motorcycle accident victims. This may be especially true in phantom driver cases and other complex motorcycle crash scenarios.
It is vitally important for motorcyclists to carry sufficient uninsured motorist coverage. Many of our clients are unaware of the level of coverage they currently have and whether or not their injuries will be covered in the event of an accident. You can call an experienced lawyer at one of our locations in Pennsylvania and Ohio for a free case evaluation to determine whether a claim against your own insurance company is the best way to obtain a fair recovery after a phantom driver motorcycle accident.
