Moped Accidents in New York
Motorcycle crashes are far more deadly than other types of crashes. Because they do not have the same safety precautions as those in passenger cars, motorcyclists are less likely to survive a collision. The rider is frequently flung from the motorcycle and their body often makes direct contact with the incoming vehicle in the event of a crash. Injuries sustained from motorcycles are often life-changing. In a recent year, there were 344,688 registered motorcycles and 751,837 motorcycle licenses in New York. This suggests that there could be thousands of motorcycles on the road at any given moment. A combined 3,827 motorcycle riders were injured in total in collisions that year. With the assistance of an experienced attorney, you might be able to file a claim if you or a loved one is injured in an accident.
