Every year in the UK there are more than 28,000
casualties following motorbike accidents. In many cases
the injuries are serious and there can be no doubt that
motorbike users are vulnerable on Britain's roads.
The majority of the motorbike accident compensation
claims that we deal with involve other vehicles and
usually its a question of the car driver simply not
seeing the motorbike. There are however many incidents
involving poorly marked or defective road-works,
potholes and spillages that all pose dangers for
motorbike riders. Such incidents may well give rise to a
claim being made against the negligent party.
If you are a motorcyclist and have been involved in a
road accident - or a pillion rider you may be entitled
to a
personal injury compensation claim. Pillion riders /
passengers are owed a duty of care by the person
controlling the bike and if you feel you have been
injured as a result of another's negligence - you may be
able to claim.
If you want an independent view on your compensation
prospects please telephone our accident claim line
today. Why not make an motorbike accident compensation
enquiry today? The police have launched an initiative
aimed at re-educating riders and other road users in the
UK.
The Bikesafe
initiative is a nationwide plan of action to reduce
the number of motorcycle accident casualties by
promoting safer riding. The official statistics
support the view that riding a motorbike in the UK is
one of the more dangerous ways to travel. In 2005, the
number of casualties among motorcycle users fell by 3%
compared with 2004 and the number of deaths fell by 3%
to 569. Serious injuries also fell by 2%. The overall
casualty rate per hundred million vehicle kilometres
fell by 8%;
