Advice about burn injuries from a motorcycle accident

Getting the right advice about burn injuries from a motorcycle accident is important, especially when the burns are severe.

When we often think about the damage from the impact of a bike accident causing severe musculoskeletal damage, the impact of burn injuries is not always an immediate consideration. Compensation for burn injuries from a motorcycle accident can be high given that the scarring from burns can be severe.

If you’ve been the victim of a motorcycle accident and you would like further advice about claiming compensation for burns and scarring, we can help.

Motorbike claim with contributory negligence

A motorbike claim with contributory negligence can be a common occurrence as some drivers try to argue that you were partially to blame; whether they’re right or wrong.

Contributory negligence simply means that you, as the rider, were in some way to blame for the accident or the injuries that occurred. It’s an argument that you partially bear some responsibility, and there are loads of arguments often used by drivers when bikers are injured in accidents. These can include arguments that you were speeding, or weaving dangerously, or overtaking without full due care and attention.

These arguments mean you may still have a claim where the underlying blame for the accident does lye with a driver, but this can still harm your case. A motorbike claim with contributory negligence often means a reduction in the compensation you receive. So, how do we stop this happening?

Had a bike crash in the snow?

The recent weather means an increase in the likelihood of people being involved in a bike crash in the snow as the weather has turned this week, and it may get worse.

OK, we know it’s only a bit of snow for many parts of the country. The UK has a tendency to have a bit of a meltdown when a flurry of the white stuff hits us. But this week’s snow has been enough to close airport runways and cause traffic problems.

As relatively small as it may be, it doesn’t change the fact that the dangers of a bike crash in the snow can be increased.

Dangers of bike accidents in icy weather

The weather has turned. We’ve seen temperatures drop and snow has fallen. So, it’s a time of the year when we remind ourselves of the dangers of bike accidents in icy weather.

When it comes to a bike accident, the weather is never an excuse. A driver who hits a biker because of the weather conditions can’t just rely on the weather as a defence. Road users need to adjust in icy conditions, which means reducing speeds and increasing stopping distances.

Even when we think it’s fine, there could be traitorous black ice waiting to slip is up. Bike accidents in icy weather can easily happen when road users fail to adjust their driving to suit the conditions. We’re here to fight for justice for injured riders if an accident ever happens.
