Drivers need to obey road traffic laws and drive with due care and
attention all the time to protect the safety of motorcyclists, personal injury
solicitors Preston have warned.
Motor vehicle accidents involving motorcyclists frequently occur at
junctions and are the fault of other road users. Drivers might drive through a
red light and collide with a motorcyclist, or could drive up to the edge of the
junction, causing motorbike riders to collide with the front of their car. No
win no fee solicitors Preston would also warn drivers to be careful when
merging or changing lanes - failing to check wing mirrors for motorcyclists
could easily lead to a fatal motor vehicle accident.
Driver impairment can also lead to motorcycle accidents, and personal injury solicitors Preston would urge people to only get behind the wheel when
they are fit to do so. Drugs, alcohol, fatigue and emotional or psychological
distress can significantly impact a person's ability to control a vehicle, and
a slight moment of distraction or a few moments' delayed reaction can be all
the difference between a near miss and a fatal accident.
No
win no fee solicitors Preston see a lot of motor vehicle accidents involving reckless behavior or distractions, and while cars use a lot of
technology to protect drivers in the event of a high-speed collision,
motorcyclists are far more exposed. A shunt at 30 mph might not even lead to
whiplash injuries when it involves two cars, but when it involves a
motorcyclist and a larger vehicle, the motorbike rider can dismount, rolling or
skidding across the floor or even fall into the path of an oncoming vehicle.
Personal injury solicitors
Preston have seen the devastating impact a motorbike
accident can cause and call on all road users to ensure they drive in such a
way as to protect the health and safety of motorcyclists.
Negligent drivers can face legal penalties and harsh insurance costs, but
the emotional consequences of being responsible for a devastating injury can be
much more severe. The only way to avoid these consequences is to be a safe,
considerate and responsible driver all of the time.
