Bicycle Accidents in New York
On a lovely day, riding a bike can be a fun activity and a convenient way to get around. But there is some risk involved. Bicycles are involved in a considerable number of crashes in New York City. A total of 18,718 bicycle accidents were reported in the city last year. Statistics show that 18,710 of these crashes resulted in injuries and eight were fatal. Unfortunately, the rate of deadly bicycle accidents each year is continuing to rise. In a motor vehicle collision, riders are not protected from the full power of the impact, meaning that bicycle accidents are far more likely to result in fatalities or serious injuries. After a serious bicycle accident, you can file a personal injury claim and seek compensation with the assistance of an experienced attorney.
