Bike accidents usually fall into a number of general categories;

• Collisions with other vehicles or loss of control when trying to avoid a collision. Even if you are partly to blame, a claim for compensation can be made.
• Potholes or defective road surfaces. The defect must considered a clear hazard to people using the area and the local authority with responsibility for the road must either have known of the defect and failed to repair it or have failed to carry out regular inspections of the road to facilitate maintenance.
• If some substance has been left, fallen or spilled onto the highway then it may be possible to claim if the person responsible can be identified.
