Long Island Motorcycle Intersection Accident Lawyer
Motorcyclists share the road with much larger vehicles and ride with significantly less structural protection, which leaves them vulnerable to serious injuries when they are involved in an accident. Out of all the motorcycle accidents, more than half occur at intersections, and statistics show that it is often the other driver’s fault. If you have been involved in an accident at an intersection, consult with an experienced Long Island motorcycle accident lawyer today.
Intersection Accident Causes
- A driver turning left who does not see a motorcyclist coming towards him with the right of way
- A driver who makes a right turn by cutting off a motorcyclist
- A driver who fails to slow or stop for a red light or stop sign and rear-ends a motorcycle
- A driver changing lanes while in the intersection when it is unsafe to do so
These accidents are extremely common here on Long Island, especially at intersections on large roads such as Deer Park Avenue, Old Country Road and Sunrise Highway.
