BICYCLE AND E-BIKE ACCIDENTS

New York Lawyers

Alternative methods of transportation such as bicycle, electronic bicycles, mopeds and scooters have become increasingly popular.

They have become so popular that corporations such as Uber, Lyft, Revel, and CitiBank, are now investing in “share docks” throughout New York, and around the world, where for a small fee, you have access to rent bicycle, electronic bicycles, mopeds and scooters from the sidewalk or street.

Unlike automobiles, these methods of transportation offer very little protection. According to the New York Department of Transportation in 2022 there were approximately 5,000 accidents involving bicycles, e-bikes, scooters, and mopeds. That is nearly 10% of all motor vehicle accidents from New York City that year which totaled approximately 50,000.

Common Accidents:

Aggressive driving or road rage;
Intoxication and impairment;
Cell phone for texting or calls;
