Road Traffic Accident

Collisions with cars -
Motorbikes are considerably dangerous as those driving are only protected by their clothing, thus more often than not; a collision with a car can become extremely dangerous. The situation in regards to collisions is the same for bikes as with cars. Drivers can be hit from the rear and front due to the incompetence of fellow drivers.


Head on collisions-
such an accident occurs when a bike is hit by another vehicle coming straight toward it; accidents such as these can often occur at junctions, roundabouts, car parks or as a vehicle is pulling out from a parked position on a road, particularly as bikes are notorious for their ability to creep up behind drivers and almost appear out of nowhere. In these situations it is clear that one vehicle is more at blame than the other.

Lack of vehicle lighting and signals when pulling out from stationary positions can cause an accident, incompetent driving particularly through speeding and lack of consideration for other members on the road can lead to such collisions and even simple faults such as not paying attention at specific junctions/areas on the road can all lead to major road traffic accidents. A potential claim in regards to such situations will be judged on whether or not it was the other driver whose failure and incompetence on the road is what caused injury to you; thus any proof that can be provided, particularly images, will definitely be beneficial when fighting for your claim.

Vehicle hit from the back-
One of the most common situations involves a bike being hit at the rear, by another vehicle. Whatever the situation; even if it is the bike which has abruptly braked, the fault always lies with the driver who hits the other vehicle as law states that all vehicles on the road must maintain a safe distance from each other at all times-as in all claims situations, proof that another vehicle was responsible is always needed.
