Motorbike and scooter use has grown rapidly in recent years. Unfortunately Motorbikes are far more hazardous for the rider than a car is for its driver. Motorbike accidents represent nearly 20% of road accidents and motorcyclists are 50 times more likely to be killed or seriously injured in a road accident.
Unsurprisingly, Motorbike accident claims are on the increase. However careful you might be, wearing all the recommended protective gear, riding with care and attention, you can still fall victim to the carelessness of car drivers. Blind spots, sudden turns, abrupt braking, misjudged distances, these are just some of the errors that can cause motorbike accidents, causing potentially very serious injuries such as broken bones, burns and spinal damage.
If you have suffered anything like this then the law gives you the right to make a motorbike accident claim. Motorbike accident claims are a significant part of the body of personal injury law and the courts will take the consequences of any motorbike accident very seriously.
The motorcyclist is uniquely vulnerable on the road – as exposed as a cyclist, but travelling as fast as a car. The consequences of an accident can be extremely severe. If you have suffered in this way you should think seriously about making a motorbike accident claim.
