BICYCLE, ELECTRONIC BICYCLE, MOPED, AND SCOOTER ACCIDENTS

Bicycle, electronic bicycles, mopeds and scooters have become increasingly popular as alternative methods of transportation throughout New York in recent times.

They have become so popular that corporations such as Uber, Lyft, Revel, and CitiBank are now investing in “share docks” so you can have access to rent bicycle, electronic bicycles, mopeds and scooters from the sidewalk or street at many locations throughout New York.

The downside to these methods of transportation is that they offer very little to no protection if you are in an accident. According to the New York Department of Transportation in 2022, there were approximately 5,000 accidents involving bicycles, electronic bicycles (e-bikes), scooters, and mopeds. That is nearly 10% of all motor vehicle accidents from New York City from that calendar year.

COMMON ACCIDENTS INCLUDE:

Aggressive driving or road rage;
Intoxication and impairment;
Cell phone for texting or calls;
Speeding;
Failing to observe;
Failing to yield the right of way;

Food delivery drivers;

Passing cars improperly;
Disregarding traffic signals;
