All our highly trained Solicitors and Barristers ride motorcycles. We provide professional legal advice, finely tuned with biking expertise - We Ride, We Know

Who is to blame?

In collisions car drivers are generally at fault with the main cause of the accident being simply that the motorcyclist was not seen

Less specialist solicitors will often advise to accept greater responsibility than they should or even that there is no case at all

Scenarios?

We are expert in arguments over responsibility, including difficult areas of speed, filtering and road surface defects

we regularly take over serious claims only to find the previous solicitors have seriously undervalued items of loss

Why use us

We will act on a no win, no fee basis, even if your case has been rejected by other solicitors

all White Dalton lawyers are motorcyclists, so they know the risks faced by motorcyclists on the road

Undertaking

Under the Highway Code it is acceptable to pass a vehicle on the left (usually referred to as undertaking) if the vehicle is signalling to turn right and there is enough room to do so or where you are in a separate lane and the other vehicle is being held up by traffic ahead. Any manoeuvre should be done with care.

Where you were undertaking you may find you are being prosecuted on a charge of Driving Without Due Care and Attention (Careless Driving) or, if you were also weaving in and out of traffic or travelling at excessive speed, Dangerous Driving.  If you were involved in an accident at the time there is no requirement for a Notice of Intended Prosecution to be served on you.

We often come across arguments that no compensation should be payable in undertaking situations.  The reality is that any case will turn on it's specific facts and the liability issues may well be the same as for filtering.  However, the existence of any conviction for either careless or dangerous driving will go a long way to reducing any responsbility the other side may have to take, so it is always worthwhile obtaining legal advice.
