Motorbike crashes from road debris

Motorbike crashes from road debris can leave a rider seriously injured in the same way a collision with another vehicle can. Riders can be eligible to make a claim for personal injury compensation, and we may be able to represent you for a case on a No Win, No Fee basis.

In this article, we’ll briefly look at some of the ways where a rider may be able to claim when a crash is caused by debris. In some cases, we can establish a claim for negligence, and you can be entitled to damages for any pain, suffering and loss of amenity caused. You may also be able to claim for losses and expenses as well.

Read on for more advice.

Motorbike arm injury claims

If you need advice about motorbike arm injury claims when it comes to what to do and what you may be able to recover in compensation, we can help.

Injuries to limbs like arms can be common in motorcycle accident cases given the lack of protection a bike offers when a crash takes place.

Here’s a little guidance on the subject of arm injuries suffered by motorbike riders and what can be done about it.

Hot weather and motorbike accidents

Today, the July temperature record has apparently been broken, and the overall UK record since records began may also be broken as well. With this in mind, let’s talk about hot weather and motorbike accidents.

Hot weather can increase traffic on the roads, especially during the school holidays. If ever there was a day to get out the house and go do something somewhere nice – perhaps a trip to the beach – it’s now. And lovely, warm weather can make for perfect riding conditions as well.

But the combination of more road users, high spirits, and perhaps even a little too much sun affecting concentration could mean an increase in collisions…

Driver failed to look and caused an accident!

If a driver failed to look and caused an accident with you as a motorbike rider, you’re more than likely going to need some legal representation!

In these kinds of scenarios, you should have a valid claim for personal injury compensation. The driver has the responsibility to make sure they look when they’re emerging from a side road, changing lanes, or pulling on to a roundabout, for example. If they cause a collision with the usual tagline of “sorry, I didn’t see you”, we can help.

Here’s a little advice about what you can do and what you could be entitled to in terms of a claim for compensation.

Hip and pelvic injuries in motorbike accident claims

It’s common for riders to suffer hip and pelvic injuries after a motorbike accident as a result of an impact with another vehicle or an impact with the road.

As lawyers, we’re therefore used to dealing with claims for personal injury compensation where we’re looking at these kinds of orthopaedic injuries.

In this article, we’ll take a brief look at how you can determine the value of a claim for compensation for this kind of injury, and what you could be looking at in terms of guidelines for amounts.

Driver failed to give way to a motorbike rider

Where a driver failed to give way to a motorbike rider, and the right of way was with the motorcyclist, an injured biker can be entitled to make a claim for personal injury compensation.

And we may be able to represent you for a case on a No Win, No Fee basis.

It seems fairly obvious that you can be entitled to claim where a driver has failed to give you right of way accordingly. However, liability disputes in motorbike accident claims can be common, especially when riders suffer serious injuries (which can also be common). That’s why instructing the right law firm for you is the best way to make sure your case is pursued the right way.

Hand injury compensation amounts in biker claims

For bikers, hand injury compensation amounts can be substantial, and it’s a part of the body that’s easily injured when a rider is involved in an accident.

With this in mind, we thought it would be a good idea to give you a little insight into how we value hand injury compensation claims.

When you make a motorbike accident compensation claim, you can claim for General Damages and for Special Damages. General Damages is for the pain, suffering and loss of amenity caused, and that’s where we can give you an idea about amount. Special Damages is for losses and expenses, and that part of the case can easily be valued at more than the injury side of things.

Advice for a motorbike accident on a country road

We’re apparently due for some warmer weather this weekend, so I expect bikers to be out in force. With that in mind, here’s some advice if you have a motorbike accident on a country road.

As we often say, with the warmer weather comes more bikers. A country ride is a wonderful thought, but it’s not without its dangers. With drivers going too fast and pulling out from junctions, country roads with higher speed limits can be dangerous for riders. If you’re a rider who’s injured in an accident that was not your fault, you may be entitled to make a claim for personal injury compensation.

Here’s a little advice about your rights.

Foot injury compensation pay-outs

Need advice about foot injury compensation pay-outs as a rider who has been involved in a motorbike accident? We can help you.

As we usually say, without the protection a car offers, riders are often more seriously injured in accidents. Injuries to limbs like the feet can be common from either the impact of the initial collision, or the impact along the ground.

The only way to properly value a motorbike accident compensation claim is with specialist medical evidence. As part of the legal case process, we can obtain this. For rough guidance based on information we use with the medical evidence, read on.
