Unfortunately a Bike Accident is fairly common. Whether it is a motorcycle or a bicycle they each pose serious risks because they do not offer the physical protection of a car. Bike riders in general are more prone to an accident and injury because of weather conditions, defective roads, and even defective bike design. An injury sustained from a Bike Accident is usually serious, such as a Spinal Injury, Traumatic Brain Injury Amputation of a limb, Head Injury (including concussion), or a closed or open fracture (Broken Bone). While most recover from their injuries, others do not and face life long disabilities, along with job loss and exorbitant medical bills.

Whether you are riding a bicycle or a motorcycle, many of the risks are similar. You are exposed to a direct hit from a vehicle or the pavement if your bike goes down. There is not the same protection that a vehicle affords. By design, a motorcycle or bike is less stable than a car, because of its two wheel design. Because cars and trucks are far heavier than a bike or motorcycle, if an impact occurs the bike or motorcycle will take the hit harder. Also drivers of vehicles tend not to see bikes and motorcycles on the road very well.

Road conditions can play a big part in an accident. Being on a bike makes you more vulnerable to slippery roads, inclement weather, and pot holes or road irregularities. A car would likely drive over a large pothole for instance, but if someone on a bike went over the same pothole it could cause them to crash. If the road condition was a factor in your Bike Accident, a New York Personal Injury Lawyer from our team will advise you that you may be able to file a claim against the town, county, city or state that maintained and owned the road.
