The importance of building your case early on can be the difference between succeeding with a claim or having to accept a split in liability.<\/p>\n<p>Read on for a little more advice.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Can you claim for motorcycle traffic light accidents?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Injured riders from motorcycle traffic light accidents can be entitled to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorbikeinjurylawyers.co.uk\/what-to-do\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>make a claim for personal injury compensation.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We can also offer No Win, No Fee representation.<\/p>\n<p>In short, if the accident was caused by the fault of another road user, you should be able to claim. When it comes to traffic lights, common scenarios can include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Drivers running a red light and hitting you;<\/li>\n<li>Drivers proceeding through filter lights when they\u2019re not supposed to;<\/li>\n<li>Drivers failing to give way to you when you\u2019re established in a lane at a set of traffic lights;<\/li>\n<li>Rear end collisions where you stop and the driver behind you either doesn\u2019t realise, or tries to make it through the lights, and hits you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It can easily happen, especially given that riders are smaller and can be more easily missed by other road users who aren\u2019t paying enough attention to the road ahead!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What can you claim for?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Riders injured in motorcycle traffic light accidents can claim for any pain, suffering and loss of amenity caused. You can also claim for any losses and expenses, like lost earnings from time off work, or for treatment and physiotherapy expenses.<\/p>\n<p>We can, of course, also look to assist with the recovery of compensation for the damage to, or loss of, your bike.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re fully comprehensive when it comes to insurance, your own insurers will probably deal with everything. If not, we may be able to step in.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Proving liability in motorcycle traffic light accidents<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Proving who\u2019s at fault in motorcycle traffic light accidents can be hard if the other road user decides to try and get out of it.<\/p>\n<p>There may be CCTV around, or there may have been witnesses. Hopefully, this kind of evidence can be available and can be used by you, but its not always easy to obtain.<\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019ve been hit as a rider, the initial focus is, of course, your well-being, and evidence isn\u2019t always the first thing that comes to mind. It\u2019s also not always the first thing you can even try and look to secure immediately after an accident either.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorbikeinjurylawyers.co.uk\/start-your-claim\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Getting the right lawyers on board can be important.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Motorcycle traffic light accidents can be common, and injured riders may be able to claim with us on a No Win, No Fee basis.
