Motorcycle Accidents in New York City
Motorcyclists face increased risks on New York City roads, particularly at busy intersections like 52nd St and Roosevelt Ave in Queens. Unlike drivers in enclosed vehicles, motorcyclists have limited protection, making them more vulnerable to serious injuries in the event of a crash.
According to the New York City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT), motorcycle accidents frequently occur due to left-turn collisions, failure to yield, and distracted driving. Urban areas like Woodside, with heavy vehicle and pedestrian traffic, pose additional dangers for riders navigating through congested streets.
Victims of motorcycle crashes often face significant medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and financial burdens due to lost income. Seeking immediate medical attention, documenting the scene, and understanding legal rights are crucial steps following a collision. Those injured due to another driver’s negligence may be entitled to compensation to cover medical bills and other damages.
