Bike Accidents Law Firm | New York City
Anyone who rides a bicycle, whether in the city or beyond, knows that cyclists are the forgotten group on the road these days. According to the New York State Department of Transportation:
- Nearly all bicycle fatalities in New York City occur as a result of collisions with motor vehicles.
- Trucks, buses and other large vehicles account for a disproportionate share (nearly one-third) of all fatal bike accidents.
- Most fatal bike accidents in New York City occur at or near intersections.
- Most bicyclists who die are males, and men age 45-54 account for the highest death rate of any age group.
- Serious injuries to cyclists resulting from bicycle v. motor vehicle crashes include amputation, concussion, internal bleeding, severe burns, fractures and dislocation.
