Workers Who Ride Motorcycles

Many Pennsylvania workers use motorcycles for their jobs. If you're injured while riding for work, you have rights:

Motorcycle Couriers Document delivery, legal courier services, medical specimen transport
Food Delivery Riders DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub on motorcycles or scooters
Messenger Services Same-day delivery, package couriers, rush delivery services
Employees Commuting Between Sites Traveling between job sites, client visits, work errands

The Two Claims Advantage

When another driver causes your motorcycle accident while you're working, you may have TWO claims: (1) Workers' compensation for medical bills and partial lost wages - regardless of fault, and (2) A personal injury claim against the at-fault driver for full damages including pain and suffering, which workers' comp doesn't cover.

Why Motorcycle Work Accidents Are Different

Motorcycle accidents often result in more severe injuries than car accidents due to the lack of protection. Common injuries include:

These serious injuries mean you need MAXIMUM compensation - which is why pursuing both claims is critical.

What If the Other Driver Says It Was My Fault?

Motorcyclists often face bias. Drivers and insurance companies try to blame the rider. But Pennsylvania law protects you:

Gig Workers and Independent Contractors

If you're a gig worker (DoorDash, Uber Eats, etc.) on a motorcycle, the workers' comp situation is more complex. You may not be covered by traditional workers' comp, but you still have a strong personal injury claim against the at-fault driver. We can help you understand your options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get workers' comp and also sue the at-fault driver?

Yes. If you were working when the crash happened and someone else was at fault, Pennsylvania law generally lets you collect workers' compensation through your employer and pursue a separate third-party claim against the at-fault party. Together they recover far more than workers' comp alone.

Does workers' comp cover pain and suffering?

No. Pennsylvania workers' compensation only covers medical bills and roughly two-thirds of lost wages. Pain and suffering can only be recovered through a third-party personal injury claim against the at-fault party.

How much does it cost to hire a work injury lawyer?

Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee, so there is no fee unless we win your case, and your consultation is always free. Call (215) 206-9068.
