Risks of Hit-and-Run Motorcycle Collisions in Philadelphia
Motorcyclists are among the most vulnerable road users in Philadelphia, and when collisions occur, the injuries are often severe. The dangers increase dramatically when the at-fault driver flees the scene, leaving the rider without immediate support or information needed for accountability.
Urban intersections such as N 18th St and Spring Garden St present added risks due to heavy traffic, abrupt lane changes, and the mix of vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian activity. For motorcyclists, even a minor collision at an intersection can result in serious outcomes such as broken bones, head injuries, or long-term recovery needs.
In Pennsylvania, leaving the scene of an accident with injuries is a criminal offense, yet hit-and-run cases remain an ongoing challenge in Philadelphia. Victims may be left to rely on uninsured motorist coverage or pursue further legal avenues to recover damages when the responsible driver is not located.
