Accident Scenarios
We all know the most common reason for a motorcycle accident. It’s the failure on the part of a motorist to see the two wheeled road user. However not all
accidents are straightforward and on occasion both parties can be to blame.
Have you ever wondered where you stand in Civil Law if you were involved in an accident but had been speeding, filtering or overtaking at a junction?
The following situations provide some examples of how the courts allocate blame
Overtaking
Junctions
Speed
Pedestrians
Emergency Situations
Pedestrians
Ratter V Halcrow (2005)
A motorcyclist was in collision with a pedestrian who had emerged from an embankment onto the road striking left handlebar of the motorcycle. The motorcyclist was seriously injured as a result. The motorcyclist recovered in full as the pedestrian had a policy of household contents insurance with Public Liability cover.
Pedestrian – 100% to blame
