MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT COMPENSATION CLAIMS
Every year in the UK over 20,000 people receive medical treatment for injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident. Every week 10 people are killed riding motor bikes and over 100 people suffer very serious injuries. The majority of these injuries are caused by the negligence of someone other than the bike rider and compensation can be claimed for pain and suffering, losses and expenses.

Highway Authority Claims
A motorcycle accident compensation claim can be made against a Local Authority or the Highway Authority if the cause is as a result of road disrepair. The authorities are obliged to keep the condition of roads and pavements up to a reasonable standard by way of a regular inspection regime and a subsequent program of repairs and if they fail to do so and injury occurs then they can be held liable to pay damages. Even relatively small potholes, tarmac defects or excess gravel can lead to a successful claim.
