Motorcycle Accidents in New York
Compared to other types of accidents, motorcycle crashes are disproportionately more likely to result in serious or fatal injuries. Due to their smaller size, these vehicles are harder to spot, and because they lack the same safety equipment as passenger cars, riders have a lower chance of surviving an accident. In New York, there were 344,688 motorcycles registered and 751,837 motorcycle permits issued in a recent year. This implies that thousands of motorcycles might be operating on the road at any given time. A total of 3,827 motorcycle riders were hurt in total that year. Statistics show that motorcycle riders are almost 26 times more likely to die or suffer major injuries in crashes, with about 80 percent of these cases ending in death or serious injury.
