Motorcycle Accident

Pennsylvania’s helmet statute, section 3525 of Title 75, requires protective headgear on a motorcycle unless an exception in subsection (d) applies, including certain riders 21 or older with enough experience or an approved safety course. Section 1711 also carves motorcycles out of the required $5,000 medical benefit that most auto policies must include.

Our motorcycle guide covers both points, and the usual fault, deadline and limited-tort rules still apply to the claim against the other driver.
