About New York City Motorcycle Accidents

Millions of motorcycles use the roadways in New York every year. Owning and operating motorbikes is a pleasant pastime enjoyed by countless individuals across the country – low gas mileage and other factors make these vehicles highly desirable among individuals of all walks of life. Many motorcycle owners are competent drivers and use their vehicles regularly. Unfortunately, more than 50,000 motorcycle accident injuries are reported every year in the United States. Many times these injuries are caused because a larger vehicle was operated by a negligent driver who was careless or reckless around a motorcycle rider.

Because motorcycles offer little to no protection to the driver and any passenger that might be riding the bike as well, the injuries involved in motorcycle accidents can be deadly. A motorcycle weighs significantly less than a larger passenger vehicle. The weight discrepancy between the two in a collision gives the huge safety advantage to the car and the driver/passengers inside. There is also no restraining system on a motorcycle, so any impact could send the driver’s body flying off into the road to be further injured by the fall or even by oncoming traffic.

If you have suffered a serious injury because of the careless or reckless actions of another driver, you should contact a New York City motorcycle accident attorney at Hochheiser & Hochheiser LLP to discuss the possibility of a case.
