I fell doing some module 1 training, broke my foot. Can I get loss of earnings off school insurance?

Didn't you know that riding motorcycles is a dangerous activity? Was the school negligent at any point? Meaning did they provide you with bad equipment (motorcycle) or forgot to teach you something?

What makes you think they should pay for this? What kind of work do you do?

I'm pretty sure the training school disclaimer that you signed will have stated that they take no responsibility for injury occurred whilst training.

If you are seriously considering this then you sir are a cock and get back into your bubble wrap and stay the hell away from bikes.

I was doing my 'swerve' or as my instructor called it..'hazard avoidance'...and I got it a bit wrong...hit the back brake, and then grabbed the front, he told me I shouldn't have been on the brakes!!

But, can't I claim for loss of earnings....isn't that what they cover?

You've only answered one of my questions.

Spider7r · L Plate Warrior Joined: 02 Jun 2016 Karma :

Oh, yes.....the brake light switch thing was dodgy

Spider7r · L Plate Warrior Joined: 02 Jun 2016 Karma :

But, doesn't they're liability cover me?

For getting the term 'their' wrong you deserve the other foot broken.

So you want the training school to pay your wages until your back at work, because you made a mistake controlling the motorcycle and did not listen to the advice or instructions from your riding instructor?

Who put this idea into your head that you should try and claim against a company for letting you make a mistake? Or is it your own little mind that thinks fuck it I'll have a go at making a claim, as I've got nothing to lose and I might make a little earner out of someone else or use them to pay my bills?

It's a bit like every rear end Road accident where people grab their neck and think let's say it hurts because I'll get time off and a nice little claim for a few ££££. Manning the fuck up should save the insurance industry millions a year.

Stay away from bikes, as what will you do if you come off next time, try suing the council for not making the roads safer? It would be like coming off on a bend, and then trying to claim against the district council or highways people for not putting in a big sign telling you to slow down?

Ok. Best case I go to CAB or a no/win solicitor then

Job is in fabricating, but I can't drive....foot broken.

Ste · Not Work Safe Joined: 01 Sep 2002 Karma :

OK, in what way was the training school negligent?

Cronik · Scooby Slapper Joined: 15 Sep 2015 Karma :

Footballer reaction. Poke yourself in the bollock.

You make that claim, you're a fabricator either way...

If the training school has been negligent then there wouldn't be any cost to the school themselves as the insurance company would take care of it all.

If you go to some solicitors about it they'll want to know what it is you think the training school did that was negligent. What in your opinion did they do wrong?

What does a brake light switch being dodgy have to do with you falling off?

Which foot have you broken?

You've had a bit of bad luck. Sorry to hear that.

If you had taken out and were paying for your own Income Protection Insurance policy, then you could claim on that no matter where, when or how you'd hurt yourself (assuming they don't disallow risky activities).

The training school provided training which, in a panic, you ignored. You crashed the bike and hurt yourself. Consider what actions directly related to you crashing, and who was directly responsible. It's all you.

Is there a video of you crashing? Please post.
