Motorcycle Claims - A Roadmap for Personal Injury Lawyers

Introduction

Mile for mile, motorcyclists are 26 times more likely to be killed or injured on the road than car drivers.

This webinar will consider the common types of injury (especially brain and spinal injuries and amputations suffered by young males) together with the possible issues of contributory negligence (such as abuse of alcohol/drugs and driving too fast and without sufficient attention).

There will be practical advice as to how to establish rapport with claimants who are may be very young and reluctant to bring claims. From the defence perspective, we will look at the ways in which the credibility of a claim may be challenged and possible quantum issues which will enhance of limit the damages claims.
