Motorcycle Accident Claims

It is said motorcycling 'gets into the blood'. Some motorcycle riders have loved riding since they were children and could not imagine any other way of travelling around. Others use motorcycles for convenience as they are the fastest way of getting around roads congested with traffic. No question, there are many positive points to being a motorcycle rider but there are many negative points too.

Motorcycles represent approximately only 1% of the traffic on our roads in the UK but they account for 18% of all deaths and serious injuries.  Motorcyclists are 40 times more likely to be killed in an accident than a car driver.

Avoid Serious Injuries

Take time to protect yourself to prevent injury in a motorcycle accident. Wearing the correct protective clothing can dramatically improve your chances of being unhurt.

Your first priority should be an approved safety helmet which, most importantly, fits your head properly. If the helmet takes a knock or becomes damaged make sure you replace it with a new one and replace your visor if it becomes scratched. Never wear a tinted visor or goggles if you are driving in the dark and you may find that a brightly coloured or white safety helmet helps you to be seen.

Purchase CE marked clothing that is designed to protect you if you become involved in a motorcycle accident. Wear a jacket, trousers and a pair of boots which are reflective in the dark and fluorescent during the day.
