Unfortunately, sticking to road regulations cannot always prevent us from falling victim to accidents. The majority of us observe the rules set out in the Highway Code and respond to the signs indicating which drivers have right of way. However, there are some drivers who neglect their role in ensuring road safety. When a driver fails to give way, the consequences can be serious for those who get in their path, particularly so when the victim is a biker.

You may think that there is little you can do as victim of an accident like this, but an overt act of negligence can be accounted for. An injury claim can allow you to account for the injustice you have been caused, holding a negligent driver accountable for injuries they provoked.

If you have been injured in a road accident caused through no fault of your own, you could be eligible to recover compensation. Our expert team of injury lawyers has years of experience in holding dangerous and negligent drivers to account, ensuring our clients receive the damages they are entitled to.

Motorcyclists often have to be wary of moving cars on the road, whose drivers sometimes fail to notice road users on smaller vehicles. But there is still a risk when car drivers are stationary: when opening a car door, some drivers or their passengers fail to use their mirrors or windows properly to check for all surrounding traffic, and they may miss a motorcyclist approaching on the road.

While many may regard this as a simple mistake, it can demonstrate a carelessness for the full range of road users that people have to look out for. In fact, the motorcyclists hit can be seriously injured in the collision, simply because of a needless mistake on the part of a driver or a passenger.

Not only are motorcyclists more vulnerable road users, they are sometimes unfairly stigmatised as more reckless or dangerous road users by some car drivers. We aim to advocate for injured motorcyclists who have sustained injuries through no fault of their own, as we know many other drivers are all too willing to shift the blame. If you are a motorcyclist who has been injured by another road user’s negligence, please do not hesitate to contact us for free, no-obligation advice on you potential claim.

Motorbike accidents: drivers not looking

Motorbike accidents can cause serious injuries and, more often than not, it is not the fault of the motorcyclist. In the case of drivers not looking, where this has caused a collision or forced you to swerve and crash, you could be eligible to claim a substantial amount of compensation. This can particularly be the case if the accident has resulted in severe injuries.

We – the Motorbike Injury Lawyers – are a dedicated team of experts in personal injury law, including that of motorbike accidents. We have years of experience in dealing with both straightforward and complex motorbike accident injury claims, and we can help you if you have suffered any injuries as a result of an accident caused by drivers not looking and paying proper due care and attention.

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?
