Motorcycle Accident Solicitors |
|
Motorcyclists are at a much greater risk of death or serious injury than other road users. Despite forming only 1% of road traffic in the UK, motorcyclists account for 18% of road deaths and serious injuries. It is a sad yet true fact that many Motorcyclists will be involved in an accident (approx 1 in 4) and of those only 1 in 5 will be at the fault of the rider.*
It will be of no surprise that the most common reason for a motorcycle accident, is the failure of a motorist to see the motorcyclist, with 66% of all motorcycles involved in accidents being reported as 'at a junction'**. When there was no other involvement the rate was at 23%. The main reasons being failing to look properly, loss of control, carelessness or in a hurry and even peer pressure when riding in a group.
Motorcycle riders and passengers have the right to compensation for a large amount of these accidents
Accident Scenarios include:
-
Overtaking stationery traffic and a car driver decides to execute a U-turn, resulting in a collision.
-
A motorcyclist overtakes a bus as it turns left from the main road into a minor road. A car driver waiting at the same junction to turn right pulls out at the junction into the path of the oncoming motorcyclist.
-
A pedestrian emerges from an embankment onto the road striking the left handlebar of the motorcycle, causing the motorcyclist to loose control and crash.
Other areas for following up a claim include:
-
Spillage of diesel
-
Debris and mud
-
Missing grid covers
-
Potholes
We have included within this section a select group of specialist Solicitors who can deal with your claims for compensation arising from your unfortunate Motorcycle accident, rather than be dealt with by solicitors who are used to dealing with the buying and selling of property, and not dealing with serious road accidents, especially ones involving Motorcycles.
