Crossroads are naturally accident black spots and they often involve cyclists and motor bike riders. Drivers should all know the rules of the road and we should all know that we must take extra care to look out for bikers as they are harder to spot when compared most other vehicles; especially at crossroads and junctions.<\/p>\n

So read on for more information about what to do if you are injured as a biker at a crossroads.<\/p>\n


\nThe most common scenario where you should be able to win a claim and secure compensation is when a driver fails to give way and pulls out of a crossroads and causes a collision. If this has happened to you then you should have a winning claim for motorbike accident injury<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately these accidents are not only common but are often serious when it comes to the injuries. A biker has much less protection then a car driver of course – and being in a collision where you are thrown through the air is likely to cause serious and often catastrophic injuries or fatalities.<\/p>\n

So it’s important that you know your rights and that you get the right lawyer to represent you for the claim.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What to do…<\/h2>\n

The insurance of the driver at fault should cover you; although if they were uninsured or untraced you can still pursue a claim.<\/p>\n

Nowadays most lawyers are taking deductions of around 35%-40% due to the government legislation changes last year. On top of that many law firms have upfront fees and some will not limit their fees to what they can recover meaning you can be hit with more charges when a claim is settled.<\/p>\n

So speak to us on 0800 634 7575<\/strong> before you get suckered in to the high fee lawyers because we can often save our clients thousands and thousands of pounds.<\/p>\n
