Understanding the Impact and Compensation
First Steps Towards Compensation
The Impact of a Fatal Motorbike Accident
Fatal motorbike accidents can have severe consequences, often involving charges of careless or dangerous driving against the other party. Motorcyclists are 35 times more likely to be killed in traffic accidents than car occupants. Understanding the accident’s cause and proving negligence is essential for a successful claim.
Claiming for a Relative or Friend
You may be entitled to claim compensation on behalf of a deceased loved one if their death resulted from someone else’s negligent driving. Compensation can help cover medical fees, funeral costs, and other expenses. Speak to our solicitors to understand who is eligible to make a claim.
How Long to Make a Claim?
Fatal motorbike accident claims can take between 4 to 9 months, depending on the case’s complexity. Claims must generally be submitted within three years of the death date. Starting the claim process as soon as possible improves the chances of a successful outcome.
Role of the Coroner
A coroner investigates deaths from unknown causes, determining how the person died and the injuries involved. The coroner’s inquest is crucial in establishing the cause of death, although they do not assign blame.
Common Causes of Fatal Motorbike Accidents
Fatal motorbike accidents often result from careless or dangerous driving, such as cutting in front of the motorcyclist, speeding, or failing to check blind spots. Other causes include hazardous road conditions, poor weather, and road surface issues like potholes.
