Claiming Compensation for a Motorcycle Accident

Out of all the vehicles that are present on our roads today, motorcycles only take up a small percentage but having an accident whilst using a motorcycle is more likely than having an accident whilst driving a car.

Motorcycles, in a technical sense are more dangerous than cars. On a motorcycle you have nothing to protect you if you are involved in an accident, with a car you have a frame work surrounding you that will take the overall blow of an accident and you are surrounded by safety features such as seatbelts and airbags. On a motorcycle the only protection you have is a helmet.

Motorcycles also have a higher accident risk than cars due to the fact they are hard to see on the road. A car can clearly see if another car is near to them but it becomes difficult to see a motorcycle user, especially if they are driving to one side of a car.

There are certain factors that can contribute to a motorcycle accident. Incorrect helmet use for one accounts for just under 50% of motorcycle accidents and most motorcycle accidents happen at night.

It has been said that two thirds of motorcycle accidents are associated with speeding and braking/manoeuvres account for 25% of motorcycle accidents that happen on our roads. However the two main reasons behind motorcycle accidents are collisions with fixed objects and negotiating around corners and sharp bends.

Negotiating around corners and sharp bends stand as one of the main reasons as to why motorcycle accidents happen. Corners and sharp bends can be fatal to motorcycle users if not taken safely. Aspects such as bad weather conditions can also contribute to motorcycle accidents as well as deteriorating road surfaces.
