Motorcycle/ Bicycle Accident*

Great strides have been made in increasing cycling infrastructure throughout the city and country which highlights the great desire people have to commute in a healthy and environmentally friendly manner. Even with increased awareness of drivers, there are inevitably going to still be some accidents*.

As a rule, cyclists are among our most vulnerable road users and even while wearing Hi-Viz clothing, lights and a helmet are still exposed to a greater level of risk. Due to inadequate infrastructure and drivers’ carelessness in traffic, more and more accidents involving cyclists are occurring.

MOTORCYCLE/ BICYCLE ACCIDENTS*

Case Studies

Murray Flynn Solicitors have assisted a number of clients nationwide who suffered personal injuries* as a result of motorcycle or bicycle accident*. The knowledge of the rules of the road, full gear including a helmet, high visibility vest and lights does not always protect a cyclist or motorcyclist from suffering a personal injury* after being hit by a car. Irish law puts a particular duty of care on the drivers and quite often the driver is responsible for the accident. However, sometimes both sides or an injured cyclist can hold responsibility for causing the accident*.
