Injury Motorcycle Accidents in Brooklyn
Motorcycle accidents in Brooklyn have been on the rise in recent years, reflecting a broader trend seen across New York City. In 2022 alone, the city recorded over 1,000 motorcycle-related injuries, with Brooklyn accounting for a significant portion of these incidents. The increase is often attributed to factors such as distracted driving, heavy traffic, and the lack of protective gear among riders. As a result, the community is increasingly aware of the dangers that motorcyclists face on the road.
If you find yourself involved in a motorcycle accident, it’s crucial to ensure your safety and seek medical attention if needed. Document the scene by taking photos, collecting witness information, and reporting the accident to the police. If you were partially at fault, you could still file a personal injury claim in New York, as the state follows a comparative negligence system.
This means you may recover damages even if you share some responsibility for the accident, although your compensation could be reduced based on your percentage of fault. Consulting with a personal injury attorney can help you understand your rights and the best course of action.
