There may have been a rise in motorcycle delivery rider road incidents as a result of their growing popularity.<\/p>\n

Bike couriers have been around for a long time, but there\u2019s been a recent rise in bikes being used for food deliveries as well. From the likes of Uber Eats and Deliveroo, meals delivered on two wheels is a common thing in urban areas.<\/p>\n

Although better for our environment, any motorcycle delivery rider is at risk of an accident on the road. Bikers are already at increased risks from not being seen. Growing numbers of bikes is a matter other road users need to take into account.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The motorcycle delivery rider at risk<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The everyday motorcycle delivery rider is arguably at huge risk of being in an accident. With the majority of takeaway orders being in the evening, we also have the darker hours to contend with as well. You have to also account for the peak Friday to Sunday times, when there may be greater numbers of drink drivers on the roads as well.<\/p>\n

Although the rules and codes are all clear in terms of protection and visibility for riders, any motorcycle rider is always at greater risk of harm. Without the obvious protection of a bigger vehicle like a car, there\u2019s always going to be that greater likelihood of a more serious injury happening<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Are you an injured motorcycle delivery rider?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re reading this as an injured motorcycle delivery rider, know your rights<\/strong>!<\/a><\/p>\n

Claiming lost earnings as an injured motorcycle delivery rider<\/strong><\/h3>\n

One of the big problems you may face as an injured motorcycle delivery rider is lost earnings.<\/p>\n

How can you ride when you\u2019re out of action due to a collision?<\/p>\n

In a claim for compensation, you can be entitled to claim for the pain, suffering, loss of amenity and losses and expenses. You\u2019re therefore entitled to claim for lost earnings as well as for any damage to your bike as well.<\/p>\n

Making a claim should mean not being out-of-pocket. If you\u2019re going to be injured and unable to work for a long period of time, we could also assist with interim payments as well. These are part payments that come to you before a case is settled, and typically cover things like ongoing lost earnings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
