Common causes of motorcycle accidents in Wales

Motorcycle accidents can occur for a variety of reasons, often leaving riders vulnerable to serious injuries. One of the most common causes is driver negligence, such as failing to check blind spots. Many accidents happen because other drivers simply do not see motorcycles due to their smaller size.

Another significant factor is distracted driving, where motorists are preoccupied with mobile phones, navigation systems, or other distractions, leading to dangerous collisions. Speeding and reckless driving also increase the likelihood of crashes, reducing reaction times and increasing the severity of injuries.

Potholes, uneven surfaces, or slippery roads can be hazardous for motorcyclists, who are more affected by such hazards compared to drivers of larger vehicles. Additionally, bad weather, like rain or fog, reduces visibility and road traction, increasing the risk of accidents.

What is the process for motorcycle accident claims?

During your initial consultation, a motorcycle injury lawyer from our team will provide you with legal advice about personal injury claims. They will also inform you about the relevant limitation rules.

Our personal injury lawyers will then ask you for details about your accident and the initial injuries that were suffered as a result. This will help us to assess the likelihood of your claim being successful.

In the early stages of your compensation claim, it’s essential to gather evidence to support your case. This may include dashcam footage of the incident, medical records, accident reports, photographs of your injuries, and witness statements.

Your personal injury lawyer may also request that you undergo an independent medical examination. This is to obtain a detailed report on the nature and extent of your injuries. These medical reports serve as crucial evidence for your claim.

If we think that your motorbike accident claim would be likely to succeed, we will offer a no win, no fee basis. If your claim is unsuccessful, you will not be required to pay any legal fees.
