Motorcycle Accident Compensation Claims
If you have been involved in a motorcycle accident which was not your fault, and have suffered a personal injury as a result of the accident, you may be entitled to make a motorcycle accident compensation claim.
The injuries sustained by motorcyclists as a result of a motorbike accident can be particularly severe. Reports suggest that 19% of the most serious and fatal accidents on UK roads involved motorcyclists, even though motorcyclists only represent around 1% of road users. Motorcyclists are generally more vulnerable to severe injuries due them being more exposed and having limited safety features compared to other vehicles.
One of the most common cause of motorbike accidents involve motorcyclists that are hit by cars or other vehicles that have failed to see them.
As well as being involved in accidents involving other vehicles, motorbike accidents are also often caused by dangerous road conditions. For example, skidding on mud, ice or oil on the road or losing control of the motorbike due to large potholes in the road surface. If you are involved in a motorcycle accidents caused by dangerous road conditions, you may be able to make a personal injury compensation claim against the person or organisation responsible for the spillage, or against the highways agency or local authority that is responsible for maintaining the road.
