The Devasting Effects of a Motorcycle Accident

A motorcycle accident can have serious consequences. It can cause serious injury or death and has long lasting effects on both the rider and his/her family.

If you are the main breadwinner in your house and have to take time off due to a motorcycle injury then this can have repercussions for your family finances and may result in financial hardship.

Plus there is the mental and emotional distress caused by the accident. If this is severe then it may be many years before you recover. This can impact upon your quality of life as well as that of your family.

Even with protective/high visibility clothing, skills training, and a greater awareness of the risks on the road, a motorcycle accident can and does happen. Motorcyclists are often blamed for an accident but if you have sustained an injury that is not your fault then you may be entitled to claim compensation.

Compensation can reimburse you and your family for a loss of earnings and any other expenses incurred as a result of your accident. These include specialist services such as physiotherapy, nursing care, specialist aids and alterations to your home.

In the latter case, these modifications may have to be made if you have become disabled due to your accident.
