About motorcycle accidents
Motorbikes offer excitement, freedom and a practical way to nip through traffic on busy roads. The downside is that motorbike riding can be risky. Accidents are frequent.
Motorcyclists are 28 times more likely to be killed or seriously injured on UK roads than car drivers. When motorbike accidents do occur, motorbike riders generally sustain much more serious injuries than motorists. These types of claims need more specialist treatment than that of the more straight forward car accidents, due to the general nature of the way biker’s ride, which is obviously very different to car drivers.
Motorbike accidents happen for a number of reasons. The majority of motorbike accidents are caused by other road users. Many take place at T-junctions with drivers often explaining a collision with the all too common ‘smidsy’ - ‘Sorry mate, I didn’t see you’. All too often, car, van and lorry drivers are looking out for other vehicles, not for motorcycle riders.
