Motorcycle Accidents in New York
Motorcycle crashes occur frequently across Upstate New York, particularly on high-risk corridors like Route 20, Interstate 81, and Erie Boulevard. Here, fast traffic and limited visibility create constant peril for riders. Without the protection of a vehicle frame, even minor collisions often lead to severe outcomes. Other drivers frequently fail to check their blind spots, ignore motorcycles at intersections, or make sudden lane changes, which can lead directly to crashes. Riders often experience road rash, broken bones, or head injuries, even when wearing proper safety gear.
