Dropping the bike
Dropping the bike is common, even for experienced riders. It’s an unfortunate but inevitable part of motorcycling, often happening at low speeds or when maneuvering in tight spaces.
Can I Claim After Dropping My Motorbike?
If another road user’s actions cause you to drop your motorbike and result in injuries or damage, you may be eligible to make a claim. Here are two common scenarios for such incidents:
Slow-Speed Drops
Slow-speed drops often occur in traffic queues when drivers fail to notice stationary or slow-moving motorcyclists. While these incidents are less likely to cause severe injuries due to the lower speeds, they can still damage your bike’s fairings, mirrors, tank, handlebars, radiator, or engine components like the clutch cover.
High-Speed Drops
High-speed drops happen when a road user’s sudden actions, such as pulling out unexpectedly, force a biker into an evasive manoeuvre, potentially laying the bike down to avoid collision. These situations carry a higher risk of injury and significant damage to the motorcycle.
How Do Solicitors Fight a Dropped Motorbike Case?
In dropped bike accidents, it’s not uncommon for blame to be directed at the motorcyclist. Arguments often suggest that the biker should have anticipated the driver’s actions, was travelling too fast, or simply lost control of their motorcycle. Additionally, some claims may be challenged because no direct collision occurred, making it harder to prove liability.
