Common Incidents that Result in a Motorbike Accident Claim

Common Motorbike Incidents

Motorbike accidents are unfortunately, a frequent occurrence on UK roads. Riding a motorbike can be very dangerous and riders are vulnerable to accidents, most of which are not their fault. Common causes of motorbike accidents include:

Collisions at Junctions: Collisions at junctions can often occur due to a driver failing to give way, or simply not seeing a motorcyclist approaching and pulling out into their path. We regularly represent clients in motorbike accident claims relating to collisions at junctions.

Overtaking: Overtaking other vehicles requires great skill and good knowledge of your motorbike’s acceleration capabilities; often, other road-users do not notice motorcyclists overtaking, and this can lead to serious motorbike accidents.

Road Conditions: Defects like potholes, leaves, ice, mud and spillages are often equally as dangerous to motorcyclists as other vehicles on the road. Should your motorbike accident be due to any of these, we can claim on your behalf against the local authority responsible for maintaining the road or the person/organisation responsible for the spillage.

Diesel Spills: We have experience of handling motorbike accident claims resulting from diesel spills on public roads. If you have suffered a personal injury following an accident involving a diesel spill, contact a solicitor - such claims can be difficult to prove, and it is important that you contact a legal expert as soon as possible to discuss the details of your accident.

If the vehicle responsible leaves the scene of the motorbike accident, is uninsured, or if the cause of the accident is an unidentified spillage, we will follow up your compensation claim with the Motor Insurers’ Bureau. See our list of example compensation awards for motorbike accidents for more information.
