  2. 11/29/2018 ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENT - Bike Injury Solicitors Between 2011 and 2015 there were 1,365 motorbike riders injured in accidents in England and Wales. On average in 2013 there were 6 deaths and 94 serious injures per week invovling motorcyclists*. In 2015 18,844 cyclists were injured in reported road accidents**. These figures only include accidents reported to the police. According to The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA)***, the number of accidents in which cyclists are injured is significantly higher given many accidents are not reported to the police, even when the cyclist is injured sufficiently enough to require hospital treatment. The figures also exclude cycling accidents that occur away from the road. Despite these worrying accident statistics, the number of bikers and cyclist using our roads continues to grow with both becoming ever more popular. Studies suggest cycling has positive health benefits, a cyclist’s carbon footprint is significantly lower in comparison to driving a motor vehicle and cycling saves you money. Can an injured  motorcyclist or cyclist make a claim against a car or other motor vehicle? All road users are obliged to follow the Highway Code of Conduct. Under the Highway Code motorists are required to pay particular attention to motorcyclists and cyclists. A breach of the Highway Code can be used by injured bikers as evidence that a motorist has been negligent and support a claim for damages and compensation. If you were involved in an accident with a motorist, which was not your fault the law is there to protect you and you are entitled to seek compensation for your injuries and any losses suffered as a result of your accident. Should I make a claim after a bike accident? We know making a claim for compensation after an accident is often not a priority for motorcyclist or cyclists however even a minor injury can result in motorcyclist and cyclists suffering hardship through not being able to work, resulting in a loss of earnings combined with bearing the cost of repairing or replacing a damaged bike and bike equipment.
