Motorbikes are a popular form of transport. The real-time, exposed nature of the ride often provides a greater experience than a car journey. However, it is this exposure that places the rider and passenger at greater risk. With their all-encompassing framework, seat belts, and a multitude of air bags affording a protection that no motorcycle could match, car drivers and passengers are always likely to fare better should a collision occur.

A study in the US shows the risk motorcycle riders face:
    
        Fractures: 27%
        Contusions: 16%
        Sprains & Strains: 14%
        Open Wounds: 13%
        Superficial Injuries: 11%
    
There are approximately 7,000 serious injuries to motorcyclists every year, and  600 motorcycle fatalities every year on the UK roads, and these figures are on the increase. Motorcyclists as a whole are 45 times more likely to be killed in road collisions than car drivers.

At the South West Accident Helpline we are able to help conduct claims for those drivers who have had the misfortune to have suffered a motorcycle accident. Your motorcycle claim will be dealt with by a specialist team of personal injury solicitors with years of experience dealing with claims just like yours, to ensure that you receive the maximum compensation for your injuries and loss of earnings.

We realise that whilst obtaining compensation is important, those who have suffered an injury, and their families, need additional help and support that may not normally be readily available to many accident victims. This is a service we pride ourselves on, and treat with paramount importance.
