Motorcyclist lost consciousness in the accident and couldn’t remember a thing

Thursday, 12 May 2022 by Louise Lunt

This motorcycle accident shows how important it is to have a legal team on your side who are willing to go the extra mile on your claim.

One of our solicitors Liz was called by a gentleman asking for our help as he had been in a motorcycle accident.

Unfortunately he had been knocked unconscious in the accident, and the next he knew was waking up in hospital with a broken wrist.

All he knew was that he had gone into the back of a car. He didn’t know exactly where the accident had happened as he was not on a familiar route, and he had no idea of the registration number of the car he had it.

He had two vague memories whilst slipping in and out of consciousness which were viewing his motorcycle smashed on the road from the ambulance, and being told by the ambulance crew that there were cars parked illegally on the nearside of the road immediately after a left-hand bend. The occupants had pulled over suddenly to look at something.

He had tried to claim for his accident with his own insurance company but the solicitors he was put in touch with couldn’t take his case on without further details.

He felt he had hit a dead end. His call to Sorrymate.com changed all that for the better!

We knew that his motorbike had been damaged in the accident and would have been recovered from the scene. We had the details of the recovery company who had been instructed to recover the motorbike that day and we got in touch with them.

The recovery company were able to give us the details of the police reference number.

We contacted the police and were then able to obtain details of the car driver and their insurance company.

At last we had the details we needed! We contacted the third party insurance company for the car which had suddenly pulled up, and they accepted liability for the accident.

Our client was delighted and has recently been compensated for his injuries and is back on his new bike!

We take on all cases, no matter how difficult they may seem.

Official Motorcycle Accident Statistics

Tuesday, 10 May 2022 by Louise Lunt
Motorcycle Accident Statistics
Been riding on your bike this week? The legal team at Sorrymate.com have all been out and luckily all came back in one piece, but there are some startling motorcycle accident statistics about those who aren’t so lucky and end up in a motorbike accident.
Official statistics show that 66% of motorcycle fatalities occurred on rural roads. This makes the prospect of a weekend ride out along country roads all the more dangerous for the biking community. Accidents peak at between 2pm and 4pm..maybe a post lunch lapse in the concentration of car drivers?
When we’re not riding of a weekend then many bikers are commuting to and from work, and official statistics for weekday accidents show that motorcycle accidents peak from 7am to 10am and 4pm to 7pm.
Of all the accidents recorded above, official statistics show that motorcyclists were nearly 29 times more likely than passenger car occupants to die in a crash per vehicle miles travelled. That’s a sobering statistic and makes it even more important that should you have an accident and become one of these statistics that you have expert, experienced, biker lawyers representing you in your motorcycle accident claim.
