Claim compensation for a rural road accident
A rural road accident for a motorcyclist could have a devastating impact on their health and life, both in the short-term and the long-term. Rural roads can be one of the places that are hotspots for bikers being injured as result of narrow, twisting and turning carriageways, and high speed limits.
It only takes a car to go too fast round a corner and veer onto the other side of the road, or one trying to overtake and failing to see a biker, to cause an accident. There are many ways in which a rural road accident can occur for a biker, but the key thing to note is that an injured motorcyclist could be entitled to claim compensation in this kind of scenario.
Ultimately, any kind of excuse about you not being seen by the driver is not one that we can accept as a defence in an accident case. It is all about negligence – if we can show that the other driver involved has been negligent in the duty of care they owed for you as another road user, that is when you could be eligible to pursue a legal case for compensation.
What you could be eligible to claim
In a rural road accident or in any other type of incident where you have been injured as a biker, you could be entitled to claim for two key elements as part of legal case. The first is known as General Damages which can cover any pain, suffering and loss of amenity caused. This is often substantial given that bikers have much less protection than car drivers. This is essentially damages for the injury and the suffering that you have to endure through no fault of your own.
The second part of the case is just as important which is often known as Special Damages. This can cover any losses and expenses and is not just about damage to your bike and repairing or replacing it, but it is also about additional losses and expenses that may take place. Replacing your protective equipment is an easy one, but there are also things like lost earnings from time off work as you may be unable to return to your employment for quite some time. There is no real limit, so to say, on how much you could claim as it is all about what you have lost that is caused directly as a result of the accident in question.
We may also be able to look at private treatment for you which could help you to recover quicker. The insurance company for the driver at fault can cover these costs as it can help you to recover more quickly and they have a duty to help you to mitigate your losses as much as possible.
