Motorbike Accident Claims
Motorbike accidents can have devastating consequences, often resulting in serious injuries due to the lack of physical protection compared to car drivers/passengers. We have dealt with many motorbike accidents claims and have helped many clients and their family navigate their way through the claim process.
Motorbike accidents often result in severe injuries due to the limited protection offered by motorcycles. Common injuries include:
- Fractures and Broken Bones: Often affecting the arms, legs, or ribs.
- Head and Brain Injuries: Including concussions or traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), even when wearing a helmet.
- Spinal Cord Injuries: Which can lead to partial or complete paralysis.
- Soft Tissue Injuries: Such as whiplash, sprains, or ligament damage.
- Road Rash: Severe skin abrasions caused by sliding across the road surface.
- Psychological Trauma: Including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Common Causes of Motorbike Accidents
Motorbike accidents can occur for a variety of reasons, many of which involve the negligence of other road users. Common causes include:
- Driver Error or Negligence
- Drivers failing to check blind spots or mirrors when changing lanes, performing a U-turn and overtaking.
- Failing to give way at junctions or roundabouts.
- Speeding or reckless driving.
- Poor Road Conditions
- Potholes, uneven road surfaces, or debris on the road.
- Lack of proper signage or road markings.
- Accidents Involving Larger Vehicles
- Collisions with cars, vans, or lorries due to their larger blind spots.
- Poor awareness of motorcyclists in traffic.
- Weather Conditions
- Slippery roads caused by rain, ice, or snow, making it harder for motorcycles to maintain grip.
- Build-up of water on roads or motorways which should drainaway and not sit on the highway.
- Mechanical Failures
- Faulty brakes, tires, or other bike components leading to loss of control.
