Delivery workers and motorbike accident claims

If you work as a motorcycle courier then you have a much higher than average likelihood of needing to make a motorbike accident claim at some point in your life.

There are more than 20,000 motorcycle couriers working in the UK today, with each one typically covering more than 100 miles in a day.

With this job, speed is of the essence, as most couriers will receive payment based on the number of deliveries they make in a single day. Earnings can be reasonable, with experienced and efficient riders in London able to earn as much as £30,000 a year.

As with all road-based jobs there are restrictions on the number of hours a courier can be expected to work in a week. Most will work between 40 and 48 hours a week, often at varying hours of the day.

Motorcycle couriers are in demand during all seasons and all weather conditions, meaning that they may sometimes become involved in motorbike accident claims that involve some kind of weather-related cause such as snow, ice, heavy rain, or driver exhaustion attributable to very hot weather.

Riders in densely populated cities also have to deal with the hazards of thick and busy traffic. This not only carries an accident risk but a health risk as well, as pollution and exhaust fumes can cause a variety of respiratory conditions.

One way couriers can minimise the risk of them becoming involved in a road traffic accident is to wear conspicuous clothing, such as fluorescent jackets and trousers. They will also benefit from being familiar with their city’s geography and receiving advanced rider training.
