New York’s open roads and city streets provide an exciting environment for motorcyclists who ride for pleasure or are merely looking to get from point A to point B without the expense and hassle of public transportation, taxis, or rideshare services. They can also present a serious danger for riders based on the negligence of other motorists who drive drunk, distracted, or careless.

Understanding Motorcycle Accident Injuries and Their Impact
Motorcycle accidents often result in very serious injuries because of the exposed nature of riders. Common injuries sustained in these incidents include:
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs): The lack of protective barriers makes riders susceptible to head injuries. TBIs can have long-term consequences, affecting cognitive functions and overall quality of life.
- Spinal Cord Injuries: The impact of a motorcycle crash can cause damage to the spinal cord, leading to paralysis or other debilitating conditions.
- Road Rash and Abrasions: Contact with the road surface during a crash can cause extensive skin abrasions, commonly known as road rash. These injuries may demand extensive medical treatment and can leave lasting scars.
- Fractures and Broken Bones: The force of a motorcycle accident could result in fractures and broken bones, often requiring surgical intervention and rehabilitation.
- Internal Injuries: The internal organs of a rider are vulnerable to injury in a crash. These injuries may not be directly apparent, underscoring the importance of thorough medical evaluation after an accident.
