Motorcycle Accidents in Queens
Queens motorcycle accidents are commonly caused by several factors, particularly in parking lots where visibility and space are limited. Low visibility due to the smaller size of motorcycles makes them harder for drivers to spot, especially in crowded areas with many obstacles. Distracted driving, such as using phones, searching for parking spaces, or managing children, often leads to collisions with motorcyclists. Speeding, even in low-speed zones, increases the severity of accidents. Tight spaces and narrow lanes can make it challenging for motorcycles to maneuver, particularly around corners and blind spots. Drivers backing out of parking spaces without adequately checking their surroundings frequently collide with passing motorcycles. Turning conflicts occur when drivers and motorcyclists try to enter the same space simultaneously, resulting in accidents. Additionally, unexpected pedestrian traffic can pose significant risks to motorcyclists navigating parking lots.At Metro Law, our experienced motorcycle accident attorneys in Queens have been aiding accident victims and their families for over three decades.
