Frequently Asked Questions
What usually causes motorcycle crashes?
Common factors include drivers failing to see a motorcycle in traffic, speed, following too closely, and turning vehicles crossing a rider's path at intersections.
Why do motorcycle crashes tend to cause more serious injuries than car crashes?
Riders don't have a surrounding frame, airbags, or seatbelts, so a collision or fall often means direct contact with the road or another vehicle.
How do left-turning vehicles end up colliding with motorcycles?
A driver turning left across an intersection may misjudge a motorcycle's speed or distance, or simply not see it, and turn directly into its path.
What can drivers do to spot motorcycles more easily?
Checking mirrors and blind spots twice, allowing extra following distance, and pausing an extra beat before turning at intersections can help a driver register a rider who's easy to miss.
What to Do After a Motorcycle Crash in Greece, NY
If you're involved in a motorcycle crash, you should get checked by a medical provider even if injuries seem minor at first, since road rash, joint damage, and head impacts aren't always obvious right away. Stay at the scene until first responders arrive and give a clear, factual account of what happened. Take photos of the vehicles, the road, and any visible injuries if you're able to safely do so. Remember to get the responding agency's report number for your records, and follow up with your own doctor in the days after the crash to document any symptoms that develop later.
