often take part in a small number of road accidents. The
statistics speak for itself, as motorcycle riders are just 1% of
traffic. Therefore a motorcycle accident claim is small in
number, but they suffer 19% of deaths and serious injuries.

accidents and almost 7000 suffered from serious injuries.

A head injury is the most often cause of death and serious
injuries in a motorcycle accident. A motorcyclist is 45 times
more likely to be killed in a road accident than a car driver.

accident but also highway authorities are often responsible for
them. Poor maintenance of roads, resulting in road surface
damages which is a common result of a motorcycle accident claim.

also raise the risk of serious injuries for motorcyclists. The
other problem is visibility - motorbikes belong to a group of
road users vulnerable to not being seen well, making up to a 1/3
of a cars visibility.
