Motorcycle Accidents in New York
Motorcycle accidents are a serious concern due to their higher fatality rates compared to typical collisions. Riders are less likely to survive a collision because they lack the same safety features as those provided to people riding in passenger cars, and bikes are much harder to see due to their smaller size. Additionally, motorcycles are often harder to spot on the road due to their smaller size, increasing the likelihood of accidents caused by visibility issues.
In New York, there were 751,837 motorcycle licenses and 344,688 registered motorcycles in a recent year. This implies that thousands of motorcycles could be on the road at any given time. A total of 3,827 motorcyclists were hurt in collisions that year. Statistics show that riders are almost 26 times more likely to be killed in a crash, with nearly 80 percent of motorcycle accidents ending in death or injury.
