When you are driving a motorcycle, it is crucial to watch the road and anticipate hazards. However, sometimes there are situations where there is nothing you can do. Our motorcycle accident attorneys handle many cases where there is nothing the biker could have done to avoid the crash. Not surprisingly, these cases can result in serious injury.

In this case, a group of 10 motorcycles were traveling northbound on 75th Avenue in Brockway Township when the dog ran out into the street. Of course, the motorcycles attempted to swerve to miss the dog. However, one motorcycle hit the dog, causing the motorcycle to tip and slide to a stop. The rider and his passenger on the motorcycle, a 46-year-old woman were thrown from the bike. They were riding in the third position on the outside of the traffic lane at the time of the crash. Fortunately, the other bikes were not affected. The couple were transported to the hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.
