New York Deadly Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycles are far from safe, even for the most experienced riders. Many drivers neglect to yield to motorcycle riders on the road, which can lead to disastrous and sometimes deadly collisions. According to the New York State Department of Health (NYSDH), there are an estimated 4,458 motorcycle-related emergency room visits reported every year, and 1,558 individuals receive treatment for related injuries in New York hospitals. An estimated 141 motorbike riders in the state are killed in crashes in the state on average. Because riders are so exposed when driving, these kinds of accidents are significantly more likely to result in catastrophic injuries and financial losses. If someone close to you is killed in a motorcycle crash, you must be able to pursue a claim for compensation with the help of a qualified lawyer.
