Is it fleeing the scene negligence?
I had an accident when I lost control of my Hornet because I was run off the road by someone who fled the scene. I had modest injuries and damage to my bike and leathers so I put a claim into the Motor Insurers’ Bureau. But they have rejected it saying just because the driver […]
Can I claim after a near miss?
I had a near miss last weekend which I can’t stop thinking about. A car pulled across my path from a junction and the driver didn’t even seem to realise what they had done. I managed to brake hard enough to avoid hitting the car, but I nearly lost control as I was braking. What […]
Cocaine and riding
I have an ongoing claim from an accident last summer. I was on the back of my brother’s bike as he was giving me a lift home. We had been at a friend’s house and I didn’t see my brother drink any alcohol so I thought it was safe to go with him. I was […]
Who is to blame for pedestrian collision?

In May I was riding my BMW to work in Reading. It was a single lane road in each direction with kerbs both sides and the speed limit was 30mph. I was probably doing about 25 to 30 mph. A kid on a scooter was on the kerb coming towards me on my side of […]
Where do I stand after bike fell off recovery truck?
My bike was recently recovered from the roadside after a breakdown. They must not have secured it properly because, at some point in the journey, it came off the lorry and was dragged behind it.

Dealer in liquidation. What can I do?

What should I have done after crash?
I was recently involved in a near miss on my bike when a black SUV turned across my path as though I wasn’t there. By some miracle, I managed to go around it without losing control, but I was very shaken up afterwards. I can’t stop thinking about how it could have been worse but […]

Messed up surgery after RTA

How can I be to blame after rear-ended?

My lid came off in accident
