When an individual is involved in a motor bike accident on the road, they are often severely injured due to the lack of personal protection provided by their vehicle.
Although the use of biking leathers and a helmet often mean that a biker suffers less serious personal injuries than they might have done without wearing them, the damage which can be caused to the human body by hard road surfaces or cars, vans and lorries can be fatal.
The type of injury caused greatly depends on the amount of biking safety-wear used, the age and health of the victim, and the speed at which both vehicles were travelling.
At lower speeds people can escape with cuts, bruises and a few broken bones, at higher speeds they could potentially suffer head injuries, internal bleeding and even death.
It is because of the possible severity of the injuries to bikers, when they are in collision with a vehicle, that road users should pay particular attention to their whereabouts.
Not only should drivers be aware of any bikers on the road ahead, they should be sure to check their rear and side mirrors for any approaching from behind.
Failure to see a motorbike rider at a junction, where the driver is meant to give way, could result in an accident and the car driver being found guilty of careless driving, for example. In this case the injured biker, or their family, could pursue a compensation claim against the driver.
Of course, like many incidents, victims are sometimes partly at fault. If a biker did not look to see if traffic was approaching before pulling out, or was undertaking a dangerous manoeuvre, a court might find them partially liable for their accident.
In these cases the amount they might receive as a settlement could be reduced.
