Motorcycle and Bicycle Accidents in New York City
Urban roadways like those in Astoria present unique challenges for motorcyclists and bicyclists alike. Collisions at intersections often occur due to limited visibility, sudden lane changes, or failure to yield. While motorcycles and bicycles share the road, both riders face heightened risks due to their exposure and lack of protective barriers.
Even minor crashes can lead to injuries that require medical attention. In cases where individuals leave the scene of an accident, legal and insurance challenges may arise, making it important for those involved to document the incident and seek guidance on their options.
