New York Motorcycle Accidents
As anyone who has ever ridden can tell you, riding a motorcycle may be incredibly dangerous. Many motorists fail to yield to motorcycle riders as needed, which can result in catastrophic and even fatal collisions. The New York State Department of Health (NYSDH) reports that an estimated 4,458 emergency room visits reported each year are related to motorcycle accidents, and 1,558 people receive treatment in New York hospitals for related injuries. Every year, an estimated 141 motorcycle riders in the state lose their lives in crashes. These types of accidents are far more likely to cause catastrophic injuries and monetary losses since riders are extremely exposed on the road.
