Statistics show that motorcyclists & cyclists are much more likely to sustain a nasty injury in a road traffic accident, than a car driver in a similar accident. This shows the obvious dangers that bike riders are exposed to every time they get on their bike. And you should be aware that you are well within your rights to make bike accident accident claims if you are injured as a result of someone elses negligence.
Bikers are also far more at risk from badly maintained road surfaces, potholes and spillages. If a biker does hit a pothole and comes off their bike, they are obviously more exposed because they lack the protection of a four-wheeled vehicle.
