Bicycle accident personal injury attorney in New Paltz, Poughkeepsie, and the surrounding Hudson Valley, NY area.
You can be as careful as possible riding your bike in New York; bicycle accidents can still happen. Motorists often don’t see bicyclists, which can lead to a devastating outcome for bike riders. Statistics from the Pedestrian and Bicyclist Information Center show that in 2013, 743 bicyclists were killed in accidents with motorists. Wearing a bike helmet, adding lights and reflective items to the bike, and learning how to ride in traffic are all precautions bike riders are encouraged to take. But even after the very best preparations and caution, one cannot be responsible for the actions of others.
40 percent of bike trips are short, around 10 minutes, which indicates that many bike rides take place close to home. One would think riding near one’s house, where one knows the area, would be safer, but the unexpected can happen, even near home.
