Common Scenarios Leading to

Motorcycle Accident Claims

Motorcycle accidents can occur under various circumstances, and Countrywide Accident Claims has experience handling a wide range of cases, including:

  • Collisions with Other Vehicles: These are often caused by drivers failing to see a motorcyclist, particularly at junctions or during lane changes.
  • Road Surface Hazards: Potholes, loose gravel, and other road defects can be especially dangerous for motorcyclists, leading to loss of control.
  • Incidents Involving Pedestrians: Accidents can happen when pedestrians cross roads without checking for oncoming motorcycles.
  • Faulty Motorcycle Parts: Mechanical failures due to defective parts or poor maintenance can lead to serious accidents.
