New York Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle crashes pose a significant and concerning issue as they are disproportionately more likely to lead to severe or fatal injuries compared to other types of vehicular accidents. These vehicles are difficult to see because of their smaller size, and riders are less likely to survive a crash since they do not have the same safety features as passengers in automobiles. In a recent year, there were 344,688 registered motorcycles and 751,837 motorcycle licenses in New York. This suggests that there could be thousands of motorcycles on the road at any given moment. A total of 3,827 motorcycle riders were injured in total in collisions that year. According to statistics, there is a nearly 26-fold increased risk of death or serious injury for motorcycle riders in crashes, with around 8 percent resulting in death or serious injury.
