Compensation for Motor Bike Accidents

The amount awarded in motor bike injury compensation claims depends on a number of factors. The award is decided by a judge who will consider the extent of the victim's injuries, the length of the recovery and other issues such as long-term side effects. Judges refer to similar past cases and draw on their own experience in making this decision. The judge is also aided by the Judicial Studies Board guidelines.

A variety of injuries and property damage are eligible for compensation. The following is a non-inclusive list of common damages awarded in motor bike injury compensation cases :-

• medical expenses, including special equipment and services needed for recovery
• physical injuries
• psychological injuries
• post wages, both past and future
• damage to the motorcycle
• damage to other physical property
• loss of domestic assistance, both past and future
• forced lifestyle changes
• loss of employment

Common Causes of Motorbike Accidents

Accidents involving a single vehicle are typically caused by a mistake committed by the motorcycle rider. Another major cause of motor bike accidents is one rider failing to see another rider. Other common causes of motor bike accidents include a driver or rider failing to heed a right of way. Yet another common cause is a motor bike driving straight through a junction while a car is turning left in front of it.

The 17 to 24 age group have the highest rate of motorcycle accidents. Motorcycle accidents are less common than car accidents but in most cases the injuries are much more severe. Motorcycle accidents most frequently occur at junctions and during short trips at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour.
