Junction accidents

Did you know that even if you are in part to blame for a motorbike accident, you may still have a case for pursuing compensation from an insurer or the other party involved?

As specialist motorbike injury solicitors, mosshaselhurst is dedicated to ensuring you accept the liability you should, whether that responsibility be none at all or a certain percentage.

Junction accidents are one of the most common types of motorcycle accidents. While riding a motorbike safely requires skill and concentration, it also relies heavily on the competence of car drivers and other road users.

Car drivers will often state that they did not see a motorcyclist at a junction and that car windscreen pillars can restrict or block the view of oncoming bikes. It could be that the insufficient care and time was taken to look out for motorcycle riders when pulling out.

Responsibility for such accidents is rarely black and white, that ‘s why it is essential that you have professional legal representation on your side.

It is almost inevitable that in the event of a collision with a car or larger vehicle at a road junction, the motorcycle driver and any pillion passenger present will suffer greater injury.

To establish ratios of responsibility, great levels of detail are required in evidence relating to accidents of this type. In substantial cases, there may be the need for reconstruction experts to accurately ascertain wherein or with whom the blame chiefly lies.

In terms of statistics, the Department for Transport Road (DfT) Casualty Report 2005 stated that collisions at junctions are a major problem for riders. In 2004, there were 17,699 motorcycle accidents at junctions. According to The Motorcycle Action Group (MAG UK), these represent 66% of all motorcycle accidents.*
