Many lawyers help people with straightforward road accident cases, ourselves included. But there are certain types of road accidents that can ask more from your average lawyer, and motorbike compensation claims are often among them.

Making a successful pothole claim is not an easy thing to do. The law that applies when investigating and finding out whether you are entitled to compensation for a pothole accident is not on the side of the victim at all.

On top of that, courts generally do not like cases against the public sector, so even where we believe you have a genuine claim you may still not win.

This, of course, leaves the question: what’s the best way of making a successful pothole claim?

Winter is at an end and if you’re a regular driver on our roads at this time of year, you’ll know that the beginning of Spring is also known as Pothole season – and you’ll be using all your skills on the road to avoid becoming a victim of a pothole accident!

I’m sure many of you have noticed that they’ve sprung up all over the place. Anywhere that saw the snow over the Christmas period is likely to be worse affected.

There is much awareness around the safety of motorbike users on the road. I myself can think of many advertisements on television regarding motorbike safety as well as signs by the side of the road stating – ‘Think Bike!‘. This all serves to remind us of the vulnerability motorbikes have on the roads and to always leave them space and properly check the way is clear before proceeding.

Bikes are more difficult to notice than cars due to their size and speed; which increases their risk of being involved in a road traffic accident.

When an accident occurs, it may mean for the biker that their motorbike is damaged and unusable, and if they’re badly injured they’ll be unable to ride any bike for a long time. Ultimately, for the injured rider, it’s not only losing a way of getting about, but also a much loved pursuit.
