There are many different types of vehicles on the roads in the UK, and motorcycles are one of the smallest types of vehicle, offering the least protection to riders in the event of a motorbike accident. Larger vehicles pose a significant risk to motorcyclists due not only to their size, but also because of their drivers’ reduced field of view to the sides and rear of their vehicles. If an accident does happen and you are injured, you might need to claim motorbike accident compensation.
Motorbike accidents involving buses, taxis and lorries
The reduced field of view that lorry and bus drivers have means they have to take extra care when doing things such as changing lanes and turning to avoid hitting other road users. Motorbike riders in particular are at risk from what is known as side-swiping, where a larger vehicle, usually a lorry, will change lanes without the driver noticing that there are other vehicles to the side of his or her lorry.
If you are unfortunate enough to be involved in a motorbike accident with a vehicle such as a lorry, taxi, bus or any other vehicle whilst you were on your motorbike, call Motorbike Accident Law to find out if you can claim motorbike accident compensation.
Claims involving motorbike accident compensation
To make sure your motorbike accident compensation claim gets you the compensation you deserve, it is important that we collect all the relevant evidence to make your claim a success. This evidence could include CCTV footage of your motorbike accident, either from a road side camera or from a camera fitted on many buses these days. Other types of evidence might include witness statements from people who saw your accident, Police accident reports if they attended the scene and photographic evidence of the site of the accident.
If you are making a motorbike accident compensation claim for personal injury compensation we will arrange for you to attend a consultation with an independent doctor who will prepare a comprehensive report on your injuries. This medical report will form an important part of your motorcycle accident claim and won’t cost you a penny.
