Our Practice Areas: How We Can Help Motorcycle Accident Victims
Expert Motorcycle Accident Attorney in Poughkeepsie, NY
Poughkeepsie offers scenic river views and historic charm, with a thriving cultural and business district. However, navigating the city safely on a motorcycle requires keen awareness, especially on high-traffic streets and winding roads with poor visibility.
Roads like Hooker Avenue and Raymond Avenue are known for their tight curves and sudden merges, making it difficult to see clearly and increasing the likelihood of collisions. Downtown streets, like Main Street and Church Street, boast heavy traffic and frequent stoplights, creating an unsafe environment where motorcycles can easily be missed by inattentive drivers. Distracted drivers are also found along the waters edge on streets like Rinaldi Boulevard and N. Water Street, making them difficult to navigate on a motorcycle.
Uneven pavement, potholes, and worn out lane markings are also common in the city, particularly on roads like College Avenue and Delafield Street, which are less busy than the downtown area. After rain or snow, these flaws can become even more hazardous, resulting in more cases of reduced traction and loss of control for riders.
If you or a loved one has been involved in a motorcycle accident in Poughkeepsie, you need an experienced lawyer. The Law Office of Eric Richman is committed to protecting the rights of injured riders and helping them pursue the compensation they deserve.
