The injuries in a motorcycle accident tend to be very significant. Quite often, this means that there needs to be a substantial financial recovery from the responsible party.
Compensation for the injured party generally includes pain and suffering as well as all past, current, and future medical bills. A Burlington County motorcycle accident attorney can make sure that the injured motorcyclist is getting the treatment and care that they need and that the responsible party is the one paying for it.
Increased Frequency of Accidents
Motorcycle accidents happen more frequently than pedestrian accidents. This is because pedestrians are usually crossing the street in expected areas such as a crosswalk or an intersection where drivers know to look for them.
However, often drivers are not looking for or prepared to drive safely around motorcyclists. Motorcycles ride at the speed of traffic on highways and in the street. Often cars simply do not see them coming into their lane or cut them off when merging.
These accidents often result in significant injuries even in cases of a minor fender-bender. When a car taps a moving motorcycle, it will likely result in the motorcyclist being thrown off of the motorcycle. This kind of motorcycle accidents in Burlington County results in significant injuries.
Common Theme of Accidents
The most common theme in Burlington County motorcycle accidents is the severity of the injuries. An attorney will often see head injuries, severely broken bones, and road rash because of the fact that the motorcyclist did not have the protection of an automobile.
The other common theme of motorcycle accidents is the cause. Often the accident occurred simply because the driver of the other vehicle did not see the motorcyclist because they were not looking or were driving negligently.
Types of Injuries
In addition to traumatic brain injuries and broken bones, ther are often deaths as a result of motorcycle accidents. This is due to the speed and the nature of the accident itself. It is tough, but motorcyclists do not always survive these accidents.
Other types of injuries resulting from motorcycle accidents in Burlington County are severe road rash and severe lacerations. When a motorcyclist is thrown from their bike going at a high speed and do not stop as soon as they hit the ground, their body continues to be thrown forward along the asphalt with the speed and momentum of the bike. The resulting lacerations and road rash can be very severe and very painful.
It is a case-by-case basis as to what injuries could have a substantial long-term consequence. Any injury that is not going to heal, whether that is a traumatic brain injury or it is an injury to a body part, will have a substantial long-term consequence on every aspect of someone’s life.
Severity of Accidents
Motorcycle accidents can be more serious than car accidents because a person is protected in a car. Protections in a car that a motorcycle does not have includes:
- air bags
- seatbelts
- metal body of the vehicle surrounding the driver and passengers a person
When a person is on a motorcycle and in an accident, there is nothing protecting them from the road and from that other car.
Increased Risk of Injury
Motorcyclists should be aware of the increased risk of injury compared to other types of motor operating vehicles when riding. Every time a person gets on a motorcycle they are taking a risk of injury from a Burlington County motorcycle accident even if they are abiding by all laws.
If someone else is not paying attention, texting, or on their phone and do not see the motorcycle, it will likely result in a severe accident. the injuries to the Burlington County motorcyclist are going to be significant, and likely permanent. Unfortunately, the attorneys who represent motorcycle accident claims sometimes even see death.

Testimonial from Paul D. -
My case settled recently after lasting 4 years. Grungo and Colarulo’s law firm were able to secure a large settlement award for my slip and fall accident. This money will help secure my future for the permanent injury I received as a result of the slip and fall. Everyone was very caring, and kept me informed throughout the entire process. Christine Lafferty is an excellent litigation lawyer. I highly recommend using them if you have been injured or in an accident. I hope I am never in a situation again to need their services, but I know who to go to if I, or any of my family members are ever injured. Thanks Grungo and Colarulo and staff for your compassionate service!

My wife and I reached out to Grungo Colarulo in 2020 for advise on a legal matter. After a meeting with the Attorney and Paralegal, we decided to go forward with a case. This case required a lot of documentation, and expert review of the documentation which was aquired. Throughout the process, we were kept up to date monthly, and Grungo Colarulo was always responsive to any questions that we had. The entire staff at Grungo Colarulo are very professional, caring, and willing to go the extra mile. This firm is a definite recommend!

Testimonial from Aminah M. -
A dear family friend referred us to a young attorney named Rich Grungo, Jr. We wanted answers and if necessary, justice for our father. From day one of a five-year journey, Mr. Rich Grungo, Jr. made our family and our pain his own. The man never stopped working for us. He kept us informed every step of the way. Questions were answered quickly and with great compassion and expertise. Even though Rich was always busy, he was never too busy for us. We always felt like we were his only clients
Testimonial from Mickey -
I had the opportunity to observe Mr. Grungo work in this case, both in the courtroom on the technical matters of the motions and also as his presentation to the jury in opening and presenting witnesses as well as utilizing animations… and drawings and films that were necessary for a proper understanding of the case…At all times during the presentation, Mr. Grungo operated mostly without notes and questioned the witnesses in a conversational manner which made it most effective. **
