Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle Accident Lawyers in New York
When combined with auto accidents, motorcycle crashes are the leading cause of personal injury in New York. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a motorcycle rider is 15 times more likely to suffer fatal injuries than a passenger in a car crash. Because motorcycles lack the protective components of a passenger vehicle, riders are at risk for serious injuries in the event of a crash.
