Motorcycle Accident Claim

Travelling on a motorcycle is one of the most dangerous ways to get around. Statistics show the despite the small number of people that actually use a bike regularly, 20% of all road accidents involve a motorcycle. If you have been injured in a motorbike accident that was not your fault, we can help you make a motorcycle accident claim for compensation.

Motorcyclists are particularly exposed to the elements of the road. With no seatbelts and no inside cabin, there are potential dangers around every corner for a regular biker. Not only is the chance of an accident more probable, the severity of an accident is likely to be far worse. Many motorcyclists suffer serious injuries, and there is a high fatality rate for those bikers that experience accidents every single day of the year.

Having any kind of accident on the road is traumatic and whether you are injured or not, you are likely to be in shock for quite a while. Making a motorcycle accident claim is probably not the first thing on your mind as your wellbeing and recovery are far more important. However, we can take the hassle of making a claim for you while you get better – taking away the stress and hassle of long legal proceedings and even arranging for repairs to your bike to be made.

Motorcycle Accident Claim Statistics

Although most people are aware of how dangerous motorbikes are, the accident figures that they produce are still shocking to see. Some motorcycle accident claim statistics include:

• 1% of road traffic consists of motorcycles, yet 20% of all road accidents involve them
• A fifth of all road fatalities occur to a motorcyclist
• Motorcyclists are 25 times more likely to be killed in a road accident than a car driver
• Male motorcyclists are involved in almost nine out of ten accidents
• 70% of motorcycle accidents involve a collision with another vehicle

There are a couple of main reasons why motorcycle accidents are so prominent. One of these is that cars do not often see a bike coming, as they approach behind them fast. Many bikers overtake on a dangerous bend, however others fall foul of negligent driving by another driving who has failed to notice them near them, or has purposely not given them enough space. In this case, your motorcycle accident compensation claim would be made against the insurance company of the party at fault for causing your accident.

Motorcyclists are also particularly susceptible to poor road conditions. Potholes and icy roads are a common cause of motorcycle accident, with two wheels not being able to handle defects as well as car transport. Your local authority is responsible for maintenance and repair of roads in your area and if they are found to have neglected their duties in doing this, your motorcycle accident claim can be made against them.
