Traffic accident involving a bicycle, scooter or motorbike

If you have been injured in a bicycle, scooter or motorbike accident in which you were hit by a car whilst riding on the road or knocked off your vehicle, you may be entitled to compensation for the accident.

To increase your chances of a successful claim, there are a number of important steps you can take immediately after the accident. The actions you take at this stage can affect the final outcome of your claim. You should therefore contact Sparta Legal as soon as possible.

Seek medical assistance first, then gather evidence

First and foremost, it is important to seek medical attention. You must ensure that your injuries do not worsen. Even if you are able to get back on your feet and think it is not too serious, symptoms such as concussion or back injury may only become apparent later on.

In addition, if possible, please try the following steps:

• Leave the danger zone immediately after the accident
• Call an ambulance or ask someone else to do so in the event of serious injury
• Ask any bystanders if they saw what happened and make a note of their contact details
• Make a note of the details of other parties involved, such as their name, address and insurance details
• Take photos of the scene of the accident and the damage to the vehicles
• Keep a copy of the police report

This information may prove to be of great importance later on when determining liability.

Scooter accident

In the event of a scooter accident, you are particularly vulnerable on the road. Whether it involves a collision with a car, another scooter, or a fall caused by traffic conditions, the consequences are often serious.

If you are hit by a car whilst riding a scooter, you are often entitled to compensation. Even if you may have committed a traffic offence yourself, the driver may still be (partly or fully) liable. This is because scooter riders are regarded as vulnerable road users.

In the event of a scooter accident, we take into account factors such as speed, the location of the accident, traffic regulations and the behaviour of both parties. We then assess your entitlement to compensation on that basis.

Motorcycle accident

A motorbike accident can have serious consequences. In the event of a collision, motorcyclists face a significant risk of serious injury, even at low speeds. Protection is limited and a small mistake can have a major impact.

Wordt u op de motor aangereden door een auto, dan is de kans groot dat de automobilist aansprakelijk wordt gesteld. Ook hier geldt dat de omstandigheden van het ongeval bepalend zijn. Denk aan voorrangssituaties, zichtbaarheid en verkeersgedrag.

In the case of motorcycle accidents, we consider not only the immediate damage, but also permanent injuries, loss of income and future consequences. These factors often play a significant role in determining the compensation awarded.
