Types of Motorcycle Accidents
Whatever the nature of your motorcycle accident, you can be confident that our expert motorcycle accident solicitors have the knowledge and expertise to ensure that you receive the right amount of compensation as quickly as possible, along with treatment and replacement bike hire.
Defective Roads
Whilst there is no precise measurement for proving that the size of a road defect is severe enough to justify a claim for compensation, one inch is a good starting point. This is the size needed to prove a tripping accident. If you can establish that there is an inch or more of defect which has caused you to have an accident, you have a claim worth investigating.
The next step, and an incredibly urgent and important one, is to ensure that you take photographs of the scene of the accident BEFORE the local authority repairs it. If the police attend, ensure you point out any defects to them as they will include them in their report which will be incredibly powerful evidence for your claim.
Once you have covered this point, the next stage is to discover whether the local authority has regularly inspected the road in question and if they had, had they spotted the defect. Your 1stClaims motorcycle solicitor will deal with these issues for you.
Objects Left On The Highway
Being on two wheels you are much more liable to suffer injury if you collide with an object left on the highway. These can be there for a number of reasons, from diesel spillages to shedded tyre casings and other objects that literally have "fallen off the back of a lory".
The important evidence required on these occasions is "who caused the spillage" or "who left the obstacle on the road"? If you have just been involved in the accident ask every witness at the scene if they saw the accident fall, or if they saw the road contractors that had been working there. This evidence is absolutely vital and can be the difference between success or failure of your motorcycle accident claim.
Once again, your 1stClaims expert motorcycle accident claim solicitor will deal with all of these points for you, but you must contact us as soon after the accident as possible to ensure we have the best chance of pursuing a successful claim for you.
