A motorcycle collision is an event where a motorbike, a motorbike and vehicle or a person, or a motorbike and an object exert force on each other for a relatively short time. Whichever body has the higher mass and momentum will be better off in an accident or collision.
A collision which appears to be fairly minor can be far more dangerous for a motorcyclist as they do not have the protection that a car has. A motorcyclist is at more risk of injury if they are involved in a road traffic accident.
It can be difficult for a motorcyclist to get a fair hearing from a court as they can be regarded the careless driver even if the other party is at fault. Approximately 75% of motorbike accidents are the result of a collision with another vehicle. 65% of these motorcycle accidents occur because the other driver didn't see the bike and crosses into their path.

Case Study
"A young man who was badly injured when riding on the back of a motorcycle that was involved in an accident, has won £450,000 in compensation. The man was riding pillion on a bike being driven by an unqualified 15 year-old friend when it was hit by a Citroen Saxo, in 2004. The Citroen driver’s insurer has offered the settlement, but without admitting liability for the accident.
The man spent six months in hospital after the motorcycle crash being treated for several broken bones and brain damage, which has left him needing care for the rest of his life."
Case Study
"A court has approved the payment of a substantial sum of compensation to a young motorcyclist who was seriously injured when a car hit him in 2004.
The man was riding his Yamaha trial bike on a road in Norfolk when he collided with a car. The accident left the man, who was 17 at the time, with multiple broken bones, brain damage and in a coma.
The insurers of the driver admitted his liability for the accident and agreed to pay compensation for the man's injuries after the young man launched a claim though his mother."
