Bicycle Accidents in New York
In a car accident, a cyclist always sustains the worst injuries. These types of crashes can involve anything from a fall onto the road or a full impact on a motor vehicle. No matter the incident, these crashes have the potential to be disastrous. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report that in a single recent year, there were 1,000 bike deaths and 467,000 bike injuries. Given that most bicycle fatalities occur in large urban areas, it makes sense that New York City is especially susceptible to these catastrophic incidents. Three-quarters of bicycle fatalities in the country are believed to be related to intoxication.
