Types of motorbike accident claim
For motorbike accident claims, you will need to have evidence that another person, company or organisation was “negligent”. Negligence simply means that someone else was at least partly to blame for the accident.
We regularly pursue claims for motorcyclists where the police have not prosecuted any other driver, so even if you’re not sure whether you have a valid claim, contact us today so we can consider your case.
Some typical examples of the negligence involved in motorbike accident claims are:
- Speeding or driving too quickly for the road conditions, e.g. rain, snow, ice or mud
- Not being observant or driving while distracted, e.g. failing to notice your motorbike when filtering, pulling out in front of you or using a mobile phone whilst driving
- Not following the rules of the road, e.g. not obeying traffic lights or give way signs
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Driving a defective vehicle, e.g. worn brake pads or tyres
- Spillages on the road that were not cleared up appropriately
- Potholes and other defects in the road surface
- Opening car doors without checking for motorcycles
Here are some of the serious injuries we have helped motorbike riders or their loved ones claim compensation for:
