It’s often reported that car drivers do not see motorbike riders until it is too late, at times swerving to avoid road hazards and not seeing oncoming motorbikes or finding motorcycles in their blind spot as they pull out. This can result in an array of accidents from minor bumps through to catastrophic injuries. There are lots of risks for bikers on the road caused by other motorcycle riders or car drivers and road conditions.
One of the more common personal injury claims for motorbike riders is actually potholes on the road. Usually a pothole just causes riders to come off-course but in more serious cases it can cause them to fall off their bikes and injure themselves. In these cases the councils and local authorities who maintain the roads can be at fault.
If you have been injured in a motorbike accident that was caused by someone else you may be entitled to claim for your injuries.
