Claiming As A Motorcyclist

Motorcyclists are especially vulnerable to accident and injury, not just because they are on a form of transport that is more likely to hit potholes, dents and spillages in the road, but also because of the actions of other road users. Many motorcyclists have very good skills, some less so, but because of the nature of the transport, i.e. no seatbelts and less protection around the driver generally, injuries to motorcyclists, when they do occur can be more serious.

The common types of accidents involving a motorcyclist are those where a car driver has pulled out of a junction, motorcyclists overtaking or filtering back into traffic and accidents on bends. Car drivers often pull out of lines of traffic to overtake, failing to recognize the approaching motorcyclist. Other road users seem to have more difficulty in seeing motorcycles, possibly because they are more conditioned to looking out for cars. There is research which suggests that drivers have difficulty in estimating the speed of a motorcycle.

If you are injured in a motorcycling accident and if you are able, get the details of the other motorist. If you believe him or her to be at fault then you will need their personal details if possible and certainly their registration and insurance details. If you have been injured more seriously, those particulars can be sought from the police.

Increase Your Chances Of A Successful Claim

The following steps are important for increasing the chances of success for your motorcycle claim:

• Contact the emergency services. Police will take witness statements and be made aware of all the details of the accident.
• Make sure you are checked for injuries by an ambulance paramedic.
• Take the details of the driver at fault, including name, telephone number, address, registration number and insurance company details.
• If possible and safe to do so, take photos of the area where the accident happened.

Case Study

£6,400 – Mr J, Newcastle.

Mr J was riding his motorbike along a main road when another vehicle pulled out of a side road and collided into him. Our specialist solicitors soon contacted the insurance company and obtained an admission of liability from the other party for the accident.

Mr J sustained multiple injuries including pains in his back, left arm and hip. He also experienced a high level of travel anxiety when riding. After obtaining medical evidence from both an Orthopaedic Surgeon and a Consultant Psychiatrist he was awarded total compensation of over £6,400. Mr J was extremely happy with the settlement figure.
