If you need to make a biker claim for compensation, we can help you. Biker claims are one of our specialisms, so we can help you today.
As we often say, a biker claim can be a lot more complex than a straightforward road accident compensation case. Bikers are often more seriously injured, which is why it’s important to instruct a law firm specialising in serious injury claims.
As a firm, we focus on the complex and the severe. The majority of cases we work on are not the standard personal injury claims. Even our personal injury claims that we do have contain a large volume of serious injury cases. That’s our focus as a firm.
Bikers may need to be extra cautious in Christmas traffic, especially on the frantic Friday next week, and on Christmas Eve.
Drivers should, of course, ensure they are paying full due care and attention when out on the roads, but we all know that doesn’t always happen. Commuting in loads of traffic in the dark and with the cold, wet weather battering outside isn’t nice. The extra Christmas traffic is frustrating enough. The heater on full blast inside a car can make some drivers tired and lazy.
It all adds up to a dangerous time for bikers who could end up injured in an accident by an impatient or fatigued driver!
A Staffordshire police offer has been sacked and handed a prison sentence after he blatantly misused motorcycle accident footage in his possession.
Now-former PC Andrew Parry had recorded motorcycle accident footage on his bodycam when he attended a tragically fatal collision in April 2017. He then transferred the footage from his bodycam to his mobile phone and showed colleagues the footage.
He was subsequently reported to his superiors and was suspended pending an investigation. Last month, the hearings into the incident concluded, and he has been punished accordingly.
The self drive motorcycle is a thing, and as we move toward the use of autonomous vehicles on the UK’s roads soon, we could see them appear.
BMW actually created a self driving motorcycle. This project has been in the works for a couple of years, we understand. It follows the trend of autonomous vehicles which are set to be tested on the roads in Britain in the very near future.
The self driving motorcycle can apparently start, brake and lean to turn all by themselves. However, BMW say that the plan isn’t actually to sell self driving motorcycle, but rather to use some of the technology to create safer riding. Could this really work?
There may have been a rise in motorcycle delivery rider road incidents as a result of their growing popularity.
Bike couriers have been around for a long time, but there’s been a recent rise in bikes being used for food deliveries as well. From the likes of Uber Eats and Deliveroo, meals delivered on two wheels is a common thing in urban areas.
Although better for our environment, any motorcycle delivery rider is at risk of an accident on the road. Bikers are already at increased risks from not being seen. Growing numbers of bikes is a matter other road users need to take into account.
We’re now in that stage of the year where we’re commuting in the dark. This is your reminder that it’s never too dark to see a motorbike!
Well, it’s never too dark to see a motorbike to long as all road users are abiding by the rules of the road and are using lights and reflectors. At this time of year, where drivers are commuting home in the cold and dark, there can be an increase in motorbike accidents. It can be generally harder to see in the darker and wetter weather. But, the excuse that it was too dark to see a motorbike that led to a crash is not acceptable in normal circumstances.
As a rider, don’t ever let anyone tell you otherwise!
Need to make a motorcycle defects compensation claim? We can help you right now as we do represent victims for defect cases as well.
Although the typical type of motorcycle claim usually involve an accident between at least two parties, defect claims is also a specialism of ours. If you have been injured as a rider because your motorcycle was defective, you have the right to make a claim for personal injury compensation.
The injuries can be just as severe when it’s a defect that has caused a crash or a fall. The procedures differ for how you make a case. But, importantly, you have the right to claim.
Since we’ve seen a bit of snow this month, we think it’s the time of the year when we give our annual colder weather warning for road users.
Bikers themselves need to make sure riding is adjusted to suit the conditions of the darkening days and wetter weather. But, it’s the drivers who need to take the extra care to look out for bikers as visibility worsens and stopping distances increase as well.
In the warm confines of a car, drivers can end up distracted and lazy. For bikers, this can be a recipe for disaster. All road users must take care!
