Motorcycle Accident Claim -
Motorcycles
and motorbikes belong to a group of vehicles that often
take part in a small number of road accidents. The statistics
speak for itself, as motorcycle riders are just 1% of
traffic. Therefore a motorcycle accident claim
is small in number, but they suffer 19% of deaths and
serious injuries.
In the year
2002 over 600 motorcyclists died in road traffic accidents
and almost 7000 suffered from serious injuries.
A head injury
is the most often cause of death and serious injuries
in a motorcycle accident. A motorcyclist is 45 times more
likely to be killed in a road accident than a car driver.

vary - not only other road users may cause the accident
but also highway authorities are often responsible for
them. Poor maintenance of roads, resulting in road surface
damages which is a common result of a motorcycle accident
claim.

and any outside protection granted by cars also raise
the risk of serious injuries for motorcyclists. The other
problem is visibility - motorbikes belong to a group of
road users vulnerable to not being seen well, making up
to a 1/3 of a cars visibility.
