Reasons
may vary - not only other road users may cause the
accident but also highway
authorities are often responsible for them. Poor maintenance
of roads, resulting in road surface damages which is
a common result of a motorcycle accident claim.
Lack
of seatbelts and any outside protection granted by
cars also raise the risk of serious injuries for
motorcyclists. The other problem is visibility - motorbikes
belong to a group of road users vulnerable to not
being seen well, making up to a 1/3 of a cars visibility.
What To Begin With
There
are some general rules about motorbike accidents that one should be aware of. Firstly, always make
sure
if the police attend the scene ensure a detailed report
of the accident, even if it seems insignificant. Even
the smallest injuries or damage to your motorbike or
anything carried on it can underlie a successful accident
claim.
Secondly,
you can make a compensation
claim if your
motorbike accident was not your fault or your fault
was only partial. Your speed and wearing a protective
helmet are among many details, which must be considered
while the fault is being determined.
Thirdly,
time matters, so every accident should be reported
as soon as possible. If the person responsible
for your accident doesn't stop or has no insurance,
you can still make a claim however, it will be dealt
with the Motor Insurers Bureau.
MIB is an organization, who provide compensation for
victims of accidents involving uninsured drivers and
hit-and-run cases.
It's
Not Easy?
As
you will notice, dealing with a motorcycle accident
claim is quite complicated and it requires a fast
and professional reaction. But how can you react fast
enough
and take care of all these details if you have suffered
serious health problems caused by the accident?
The
best you can do in this situation is to employ a
personal injury solicitor. An accident solicitor's
help is an absolute must to handle your compensation
claim. Details such as - injury assessment,
accident reports, claim preparations, etc.

thanks to a 'no win no
fee' arrangement,

the winnings and if lost, all costs are paid by solicitor.

Risk - Let's Do It Safely!
Riding
a motorcycle is a wonderful experience as may know
but it is risky and injuries involving motorcycle

or employing some company, which cares more about the
money than about your well-being and successful claim?

no fee arrangement and take no more unnecessary
