When you read the statistics on motorcycle accidents they can be alarming. According to the official Statistics published by ‘Think’, Motorcyclists are roughly 38 times more likely to be killed in a road traffic accident than car occupants, per mile ridden. Also 30 motorcyclists are killed or injured every day at junctions. The risk of being killed or seriously injured if you are involved in a motorcycle collision is much higher as you are exposed and do not have anything protecting you reduce the impact.
There are many reasons why Motorbike accidents happen, common reasons appear to be that other drivers don’t notice bikes when pulling out of junctions and they may not see the bike in their wing mirrors. Motorcycle drivers have to have their wits about them at all times however they cannot foresee what the next movement every driver is going to make. If you have been involved in a motorbike accident and it was not your fault, you may be able to claim.
Contact one of our Motorcycle Accident Claims Lawyers in Leeds today who will discuss your individual case and advise you accordingly.
This is not a simple question as every claim is different. The sum of compensation you can claim is dependant on how serious your injuries are and other factors. We would pursue a claim for any expenses you may have incurred as a result of your motorcycle accident, for example, replacing the bike, loss of earnings, rehabilitation expenses, physiotherapy, chiropractic treatment and the treatment you may need in order to make a full recovery.
If you have had a motorcycle accident then it is good advice to claim as soon as you are able to. We are normally able to work on a NO WIN NO FEE basis and the insurance of the ‘at fault’ party would pay the fee.
