Motorbike Injury Lawyers Blog

A motorbike accident caused by a bus can be an easy thing to happen, and it can be incredibly devastating for the injured rider. Bikers are allowed to weave between traffic which will normally be proceeding in a fairly standard way, but buses are different given that they’re going to be pulling in and out of bus lanes, bus stops and stopping generally for pick-ups and drop-offs.

On top of that, buses are big, and bikers tend to be far smaller in size, and therefore more difficult to see, and far harder to see in the blind spots of the buses. These factors can make a motorbike accident caused by a bus somewhat of an accident waiting to happen, but bikers have rights if they are injured by a bus.

A biker has suffered a fractured spine and a broken jaw in a horror pothole crash in Stony Stratford earlier this month. The injured cyclist also lost four teeth and had to stay several nights in hospital for care after the accident that was caused by a pothole filled with rainwater.

We have previously highlighted the dangers potholes pose to both cyclists and motorbike riders, and this accident was really waiting to happen. The size and number of some of the potholes that have sprung up from over the winter seasons is making the UK’s highways a real danger for two-wheeled road users, and this accident highlights how bad a biker can be injured by a pothole.

A fractured spine and a fractured jaw; just let that sink in for a moment…

Can you spot motorcyclists on the road? Have you ever had a near-miss with a biker because they were harder to spot than a larger road vehicle? Do you actively look out for them?

A motorbike accident from an obstruction in the road can be a serious one. As we always say, given the lack of protection a motorcycle offers when compared to a car, riders are at a higher risk of harm from serious injuries from any road accident they’re involved in.

If a biker hits an obstruction in the road and is injured as a result, they may have a claim for personal injury compensation. Depending on how the obstruction has come to be on the carriageway can depend on whether there is a valid claim to make.

Here is a little advice about this kind of scenario.

With the lack of protection a motorbike offers, it’s common for motorcyclists injured in road accidents to require specialist physiotherapy treatment to speed up and aid their recovery.

From broken bones and ligament damage that can often lead to months of physiotherapy treatment required, as well as the need for occupational therapy for head injuries and counselling for psychological injures, there is a great deal to consider.

Given that motorbike injury victims will often need treatment we can, in some cases, arrange for specialist treatment to help our clients.

Whether its debris that’s fallen off from the back of a wagon or debris from a car tyre blowout, any road debris on can be real dangerous for a motorcyclist. Many other vehicles may be able to pass over debris on the road without any serious consequences (or none at all), but even small pieces of road debris can pose a great risk for an accident to happen for motorbike riders.

So, if you’re a biker who has been injured in an accident due to debris on the road, what are your rights for legal compensation?

Nowadays, due to changes in the law over the last few years, most bikers who make a motorbike personal injury claim will find that they must pay at least 25% from their damages award to settle fees for the lawyer.

But, we can still offer 100% compensation arrangements for bikers injured in road accidents. Read on for more information about this.

As a motorcyclist, it’s hard enough having to dodge accidents, however when one does happen, you may find that, as a biker, the other driver alleges you were speeding.

I mean, speeding and bikes is supposed to be synonymous, right?

Whether that’s the case or not, you can be sure that insurers acting for the driver at fault for the accident will be trying to split liability by saying you were partially to blame because of speeding. If this happens, what can you do?
