A head on motorbike collision involves the front part of the motorbike. Often this type of accident occurs when a motorcycle over takes another vehicle and can lead to some very serious injuries and even fatalities. In most motorcycle accidents, the rider and pillion passenger, if there is one, are thrown from the bike. In a head on or frontal impact they are most likely to be thrown in the path of the oncoming vehicle which can cause severe injuries.
A head on accident, where the rider is overtaking another vehicle at speed gives motorcyclists a bad name as the motorcyclist is generally to blame and are usually driving at speeds above the limit. Some motorcyclists will overtake other vehicles even with oncoming traffic heading towards them.
It can be difficult to claim compensation when you have been involved in a motorbike accident. It might be harder to find someone to blame for your motorbike accident injury and may have to have more evidence to prove that you were not the cause of the accident. Car Accident Helpline can help you claim compensation for your injuries and get you back on the road by organising the repair or replacement of your bike.
Case Study
"A Harley Davidson rider who lost an eye in a head-on collision with a Suzuki motorcyclist, has won his compensation case and will be awarded a full “seven figure” payout.
The judge found that the Suzuki driver was responsible for the accident on the B4363 in Shropshire.
He had originally claimed that he was forced to apply emergency brakes due to the claimant's road position, which caused him to skid into his path. However, the judge found the sole responsibility for the accident lies with the defendant, the Suzuki driver."
Case Study
"A motorcyclist was confident of winning a six figure compensation payment after he suffered serious orthopaedic injuries when his bike smashed into a car that had suddenly pulled out in front of him. The accident left the rider in a wheelchair for life and unable to work, however the form was served a day late."
