Am I More Vulnerable to Have A Motorcycle Accident in New York City?

There are a number of reasons that motorcycles are at a greater risk for being in a serious accident over a passenger in a vehicle, especially in NYC.  According to the New York State Department of Health Motorcycle-related Injury Data, “On average, 1,600 New Yorkers are treated at a hospital each year as a result of motorcycle crashes; that is an average of 16 people every day. ”  Some examples are:

• Motorcyclists are more likely to be thrown off of their bike and onto the pavement at high speeds
• Motorcyclists are more vulnerable to poor roadways and bad weather conditions
• Drivers of cars, trucks, and SUVs have a difficult time seeing motorcyclists on the road, especially at night or in poor weather conditions
• motorcycles lack the same protection as cars, for instance no air bags
• Motorcyclists have a greater chance of being side swept
• Motorcycles are more likely to become “wobbly” or unstable at high speeds or in poor weather conditions

And alike cars, motorcycles have to battle against:

• When a car makes a left turn at an intersection without looking or knowing that a motorcycle is coming.
• A driver or the passenger of a car parked on the side if a road opens a car door in the path of an passing motorcycle.
• A driver might not properly check to see if there is a motorcycle in a lane before they attempt to head into that lane.
• Drunk Drivers and their slow reaction times

Common Motorcycle Injuries

Motorcycle riders really do not have much protection other than a helmet, a thick leather jacket and boots under normal circumstances.  They are more easily then to experience injuries that involve the spinal cord, brain trauma, broken bones and internal injuries.  Even a minor accident where the motorcyclist experiences a road rash could wind up being permanent scaring.  You need a motorcycle accident lawyer to represent you and obtain the compensation you deserve.
