Fatal Motorcycle Accidents in New York
Fatal accidents are the cause of hundreds of deaths in New York every year. Over 18 percent of all traffic fatalities reported across the state involve motorcycles. These motorists are particularly vulnerable and likely to suffer severe and fatal injuries and accidents due to their lack of adequate protection.
Motorcyclists who are involved in crashes are more likely to suffer severe trauma to the head, life-threatening internal organ injuries, and even severe fractures that ultimately take their lives. Unfortunately, the majority of accidents that are reported in our state each year are preventable. Acts of negligence continue to cause all of these accidents to occur. Leading factors in fatal collisions across our state include:
- Reckless driving
- Impaired driving (drugs, alcohol, prescription medications)
- Poor weather conditions
- Running red lights and stop signs
- Speeding
- Fatigue
- Following too closely
