Motor Cycle Accident Claims

Recent preliminary statistics released by the Roads and Traffic Authority show that there have been 448 fatal car accidents in New South Wales in the twelve month period ending May 2009 with 59 of these fatalities involving motor cycle riders and pillion passengers. In May, 2009 there were 34 fatal car accidents on New South Wales roads with 5 of these fatalities being motor cycle riders and pillion passengers. These statistics are alarmingly high when you consider the number of motor cycles on New South Wales roads.

According to the NRMA a motorcycle rider is twenty times more likely to be killed in a crash than passengers travelling in a car. The most common type of crash (according to the NRMA) is that involving a motorcycle being hit from behind by another vehicle.

The nature of motorcycles means that the injuries sustained by motorcycle riders and pillion passengers are usually of a more severe nature with amputations, spinal injuries and brain trauma. Sadly motorcycle accidents are not usually the fault of the motor cycle rider with 61% of three multi-vehicle crashes involving a motorcycle being the fault of the other driver.
