Motorbike accident – types of injuries
Motorcyclist injury rates have fallen since 2008. However, motorcyclists remain 38 times more likely to suffer a serious injury in a road accident than the occupants of a vehicle. There are several types of injury that are more common to motorcyclists than any other type of road user.
Common types of motorbike accident injuries include:
- Leg breaks and fractures
- Biker’s arm (and other related crush injuries)
- Road rash (including skin abrasions & bone wear)
Types of motorcycle accident
Vehicle collision
Motorcycle road accidents are commonly caused by a driver who has failed to make the necessary traffic checks before manoeuvring at a junction. Remember, you may be eligible for motorbike accident compensation even in the event of a hit and run, or where the driver at fault was not insured – contact us today to discover how we could help you.
Animal collision
You may be entitled to personal injury compensation following a motorcycle accident involving an animal. We will investigate the circumstances of your collision with an animal – we may be able to establish liability where the owner of the animal could have taken reasonable steps to prevent your road accident (e.g. escaped livestock due to a poorly maintained enclosure).
Passenger accident claims
You may be eligible for personal injury compensation if you have been injured in a motorbike accident as a sidecar passenger or as a pillory passenger. Remember, you are entitled to compensation even where the driver at fault was the driver of your vehicle. Compensation is typically recovered from the insurance provider – the guilty party should not face any direct costs.
Road surface
If you have suffered a motorcycle accident as a result of faltering on an uneven road surface, you could be entitled to personal injury compensation. Our specialist team of road accident solicitors will fully investigate the circumstances of your claim – we may be able to establish liability where a local council or private landowner has been negligent in maintaining the road.
Faulty mechanical work
If your motorbike accident occurred due to mechanical failure that can be traced to negligence on behalf of a mechanic, you may be entitled to personal injury compensation. We will arrange for an engineer’s report that could help to determine whether negligence on behalf of a mechanic has contributed to the circumstances surrounding your motorbike accident.
Motorcycle accident claim time limit
We advise speaking to us as soon as you believe that you may be entitled to motorcycle accident compensation. Any cause for delay in beginning your motorcycle accident claim may be taken into account regarding your claim time limit. For further information, please see What is the personal injury claim time limit? or contact us today for instant answers and peace of mind.
