Moped Crashes in New York
Crashes involving motorcycles are much more dangerous than typical crashes. Motorcyclists are less likely to survive a collision because they lack the same safety measures as those traveling in cars, which can make the bikes harder to see. When a motorcycle collides with a vehicle, the rider is frequently thrown from the bike, and the rider’s body often makes a direct impact with the oncoming vehicle. Motorcycle-related injuries can easily be fatal. 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. If you or someone close to you is hurt in a crash, you may be able to pursue a claim with the help of a trained lawyer.
