Road Debris

If you are unfortunate enough to suffer an injury in a car crash involving road debris then we are here to help you get back on the road. We can help you claim compensation for your injuries by offering a 100% Compensation - No Win No Fee service, meaning that you receive 100% of your compensation and pay absolutely nothing to claim.

The term 'road debris' is used to describe small stones, glass, nails, sand, gravel and other rubbish that accumulates on the roads. These bits tend to collect together on the sides of the road and in the middle where the vehicles do not generally drive. Most of us will have had an experience of a stone striking your windscreen or bonnet and has most likely given you a shock.

Road debris can be a hazard to any road user but far more dangerous for a motorcyclist and can cause accidents through skiding on debris or puncturing tyres. It can however be safer to drive over small debris than to avoid it in case you lose control. More motorcycle accidents could be prevented by sweeping the roads more often.

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.
