The UK’s leading motorbike accident prevention organisation, Think!, have revealed that motorcyclists are 38 times more likely than car drivers to be involved in a road traffic accident. They also report that an average of 30 motorcyclists are involved in serious accidents each day across the UK.
While riding a motorbike can be exhilarating and exciting, the unfortunate reality is that motorcyclists are one of the groups at the highest risk of being involved in a serious accident.
Some of the most common causes of accidents involving motorbikes are:
- Other road users, such as bus, tram, car and lorry drivers, who fail to check for motorcyclists properly
- Collisions involving another vehicle, such as a bus or car
- Dangerous or poorly maintained road surfaces, such as large potholes

How to Make a Claim for your Accident
Many people are put off claiming the compensation that they deserve out because they have concerns about the process of making a claim and be worried about having to go to court. They may be unsure if they can make a claim, uncertain about the steps that will be involved and worried that making a claim will run up a costly legal bill.
Making a claim with Personal Injury Claims Bristol is easy. The first step is to give us a call on our freephone number or to complete our online contact form. We will ask you a couple of questions about the type of accident you were involved in and the injuries that you received. We will quickly be able to assess your case and let you know whether you can make a claim.
We work on a no win, no fee basis. This means that your claim is fully funded from day one. You do not have to worry about paying any upfront legal fees, and you will not have to pay a penny towards your legal representations if your claim is unsuccessful.
Furthermore, the vast majority of personal injury cases are settled outside of court.
Motorbike Injuries
Injuries resulting from a motorcycle accident can be severe. Some of the most common motorcycle injuries include:
- Back injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Head injuries and concussions
- Leg, ankle, knee and foot injuries
- Arm, shoulder and hand injuries
- Broken bones
- Skin lacerations
These kinds of injuries can have a devastating impact on the life of the person affected. There may be long-term mobility issues or disabilities connected to the wounds. The injuries may cause the sufferer to take time off work to recover, and in more severe cases, the injuries may make it impossible for the person to return to the work they had done before they suffered the accident.
