Motorcycle Accidents in New York
Motorcycle crashes in Upstate New York are common on high-risk corridors such as Route 20, Interstate 81, and Erie Boulevard, where fast traffic and limited visibility create constant danger for riders. Without the protection of a vehicle frame, even minor collisions can lead to severe outcomes. Many crashes happen when drivers fail to check blind spots, ignore motorcycles at intersections, or make sudden lane changes. Riders often suffer road rash, broken bones, or head injuries, even when wearing proper safety gear. Because motorcyclists are often unfairly blamed or misunderstood by insurance adjusters, working with a knowledgeable New York motorcycle accident lawyer can help ensure your side of the story is heard and your injuries are taken seriously.
