As 2009 drew to a close, a plethora of motorbike accident stories were reported in the nation's press. Sadly, a number of these involved youngsters, including a five-year-old who was killed after falling off the toy motorbike he had been given as a Christmas present.
In many of these cases, the motorbike accidents were caused by reckless driving, inexperience or adverse weather conditions and unfortunately in these situations making a claim for motorbike accident compensation would be virtually impossible as liability for the accident may fall squarely at the feet of the rider.
However, if a pedestrian is hit by a motorcycle and injured, pursuing a claim for personal injury damages may be the only course of redress to compensate for pain and suffering, loss of earnings and any costs associated with the accident or the injuries caused.
In an accident involving a motorcycle and another vehicle it is likely that an investigation will be required in order to determine who was at fault in the crash. This may see a court case where a judge will determine, based on expert testimony and evidence, which party was liable for the accident.
Once a criminal case has been ruled upon, injured parties can seek redress through the civil courts to claim damages for the motorcycle accident. In almost all cases, this can be commenced on a no win, no fee basis by utilising the services of a competent personal injury solicitor.
In some instances a judge may deem that both parties were in some way liable for the road traffic accident and in such a case any award of motorbike accident compensation will be adjusted accordingly – even if the motorbike rider was in some way held responsible for the accident, perhaps by not having headlights on in the day time - if the driver of the vehicle was found to have been speeding perhaps and this was revealed as the major cause of the crash, the motorbike rider would still be able to claim compensation.
In such an eventuality damages may be awarded at a slightly lower level. The court hearing the civil case would decide the sum, basing their calculations on legal decisions from the past and adjusting them to reflect the level of liability attributed to the rider.
