It is an incontrovertible fact that motorcyclists are more vulnerable to all kinds of injuries than the drivers of cars and other road-going vehicles, from the relatively minor scrape or bruise to the more serious head or spinal injury. 

The reasons for this are various and include:

  • Riders' exposure to the impact of collisions
  • Road surfaces
  • Stability of the motorcycle  
  • Difficulty other road users have in identifying motorbikes, particularly when at junctions and during overtaking.

Although all of the above helps to explain why riders account for a disproportionate amount of RTA injuries, it does not mean those whose negligent actions cause motorcyclists to sustain injury are immune from blame.

"If the vehicle's damaged, then there is an actionable claim potentially for injury."

Why is first-rate legal representation important?

Given that motorcyclists are more vulnerable than other motor-going road users and consequently are more likely to suffer severe injuries, it is particularly important that they are represented by personal injury solicitors with experience of the kinds of high value claims typical to the motorbike accident claimant.

If your motorcycle accident occurred in the past three years and you are seeking redress for lost earnings, medical expenses and pain and suffering, contact our personal injury solicitors today to discuss the possibility of claiming compensation, regardless of whether you were a rider or pillion passenger during the incident.

Excellent service, above and beyond

It all began with a freak cycling accident on my way to work one oct morning in 2023, unbeknown to me was the cause of the accident was a pothole in the road , I have been cycling for 20years plus and had never experienced an incident like this, but needless to say that when I contacted Nicola at Thompsons she was willing to listen and filled me with confidence, subsequently the defendant settled today with what I can only describe as a generous offer , thank you Nicola

SHe has answered all questions promptly, given advice where required and guided me through the whole process.
