What are the most common causes of fatal motorcycle accidents?
As motorcyclists are so at risk of being seriously injured, they are classed as vulnerable road users, along with cyclists and pedestrians. Because of this, there are a huge number of ways in which fatal motorcycle accidents can occur on the roads.
These include:
Bad road maintenance and potholes leading to a fatal motorcycle accident
Drivers not giving way to motorcycles at T-junctions and hitting the motorcycle
Reckless driving on the part of the motorcycle or another driver
Motorcyclist being hit by a drunk driver
These are just some of the most common ways in which fatal motorcycle accidents occur, and there are many more. If you have lost a loved one in a motorcycle accident type not listed above, contact MG Legal’s motorcycle accident solicitors to discuss your potential claim.

How much can I claim for a fatal motorcycle accident?
As with all complicated fatal accident claims, fatal motorcycle accident claims take many factors into account when the amount of financial compensation is being calculated.
The amount of financial compensation involved in the claim will depend on:
The victim’s age
The degree of negligence that caused the fatal motorcycle accident
The severity of the injuries that the victim suffered, leading to them passing away
The fatal motorcycle accident claim will also be broken down into a number of different compensation amounts, known as damages. The most obvious of these amounts is the general damages, for the pain and suffering of the victim in the fatal accident.
The others, known as special damages, will be calculated based on the financial losses of any dependents of the victim, both immediate and potential future losses.
