Fatal Moped Crashes in New York
Not everyone on the road is afforded the same protections as those traveling in a motor vehicle. A moped rider is particularly exposed to the elements, and these types of crashes are much more likely to result in life-changing injuries. Nearly 90 percent of riders do not have proper insurance, and an estimated 40 percent of injuries resulting from moped crashes involve bone fractures. Motorcycle accidents are over-represented in national roadway fatalities. Statistics show that nearly 80 percent of motorcycle crashes end in death or injury, and riders are almost 28 times more likely to be killed in the event of a collision.
