A motorbike accident is treated in law in just the same way as any other type of accident. The injured party needs to establish that the accident is someone (or something) else's fault (or at least partly someone / something else's fault). By law all drivers and riders must have at least third party insurance cover. This means that their insurers will pick up the bill if the driver causes an accident and injury to any other party (including any passengers, whether related to the driver or not).
By law all drivers and riders must have at least third party insurance cover. This means that their insurers will pick up the bill if the driver causes an accident and injury to any other party (including any passengers, whether related to the driver or not). If you have the bad luck to have been involved in an accident with an uninsured driver, or with a driver who does not stop after the accident, you can make a claim through the Motor Insurers' Bureau.
If you are involved in a motorcycle accident try and follow these 10 basic steps:
1. make sure you make a log of the make color and model of any other vehicles involved, together with their number plate
2. take a note any damage to other vehicles involved
3. take a note of the other drivers' names and addresses
4. take a note of any witness names and addresses
5. do not make any admissions about liability
6. try to sketch a plan of the accident scene and where the vehicles ended up
7. as soon as you are able, write down your version of what happened
8. notify your insurers as soon as you can after the accident
9. if you have suffered any injury at all get it checked out by a doctor
10. Calculate your loss of earnings and any incidental expenses that are related to your accident including expenses your friends and family may have incurred.
So how does this information affect motorcycle accident claims?
In summary, motorbike claims are as standard as other road vehicle claims and despite the bias that will inevitably be in the minds of everyone who handles your case (eg the police, the doctors etc.) as long as you have the proof and the documentation then your compensation will be obtained and awarded in the exact same manner with the exact same values.
Unfortunately, when placing actual blame in a motorbike accident investigation a certain amount of bias will be automatically placed against the rider of motorbikes due to these public perceptions of these methods of transport. It is the police that generally provide all the statistics on fatalities and injuries for all accidents. Therefore they are more aware of the chance of the incident being the fault of the motor-cycle.
So when looking for someone to blame for your motorbike accident injury you may have a slightly harder time and may have to have more conclusive evidence to prove that you were not the cause of your own demise. But, motorcycle accident compensation itself is not affected by the actual form of transportation. Even though motorcycle injuries are generally more severe than those experienced by car drivers due to how exposed you are, your compensation amounts are not penalized for having chosen to ride a bike.
