The best way to avoid having to make a motorcycle accident claim is, of course, to avoid being involved in a serious motorcycle accident. This means applying both the primary and secondary safety features of your motorbike.
UK vehicle manufacturers differentiate between primary and secondary safety features. The primary features are those that prevent an accident occurring, and the secondary features are those that minimise any personal injury caused in a crash.
Primary safety features in a motorcycle accident
Your bike's lights are part of the primary safety features, both the headlight and running lights. Also, the colour of your bike may itself be a primary safety feature - a bright colour is likely to make you more noticeable than a dark or earth colour. It is for this reason that reflective vests are largely recommended too.
Some motorbikes are also fitted with ABS systems. But the main primary safety feature is the rider. Keeping your awareness of the road at its highest level is the best way of ensuring that you do not let a motorcycle accident claim you as a victim.
Secondary safety features in a motorcycle accident
Unlike cars, which can strap in their drivers and passengers and surround them with airbags, motorbikes require their riders to apply secondary protection to themselves. This means clothing (or armour) including gloves and a helmet. Read more about protective clothing.
