While the immediate image that comes to mind of a motorcycle accident involves another vehicle, this is not the only potential cause of such an accident. One that has occasionally been cited in terms of causing personal injury is mislaid drain covers.
The cover of a drain often has parallel bars, which best practice suggests should be laid across the direction of travel on a road. When these are laid so that the gaps run in the same direction as vehicles travel in, it is possible for narrow tyres to be affected by the grooves so that a motorbike crash may result - either immediately, as a wheel is caught, or moments later, as a wobble is introduced that the rider cannot control.
While it is not illegal to lay the covers in this manner, it may still be possible to argue that having done so leaves the party responsible for the drain cover liable for personal injury suffered as a result of a cover lain parallel to the flow of traffic. The advice of a specialist no win, no fee solicitor should be sought in this case.
The tyres of a motorcycle are less likely than the thinner ones of a bicycle to be affected, and developments in grate design are intended to make such accident injury less common for all two-wheeled traffic.
