Interesting figures. A bit of analysis shows the following (from the latest figures on there only);
Based on the number of new & active claims totalled together,"Unknown" is the most costly type of ACC claim at $26,740 each (don't know what classifies as unknown, maybe a motorised couch?). Second are Trucks at $20,284.05. Cars are 3rd at $17,381.93 with motorcycles way down at 6th most costly with $13,866.27 per claim.
Even pedestrians claims are more costly than motorbikes (4th) & cycling (5th). Don't know how they work these figures though. I presume pedestrians are injuries related to being hit by cars, bikes, trains, trucks etc etc. I would also assume cyclists are a mix of crashes whilst riding, as well as being hit by other vehicles. I would presume most of these injuries are caused by cars.

You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me
Im not having a dig but you would have to assume they have lumped xcross in the figures as inflation.
To me you guys are like rugby players and skiers etc covered by total pool but setting figures for road bikes with offroad calculated in the mix is robbing from a minority to feed the majority.3 off road vehicles to every on road was a figure that sticks in my mind.
I have evolved as a KB member.Now nothing I say should be taken seriously.
Lets think logically.
road accident that involves car will give you high injury cost and time off work.
So even though the figures show less than half involve cars what is the cost percentage.
low side slides etc and so on may account for stat figures for amount of accidents but low percentage of cost.Maybe an xray and all clear etc cuts and check up.
Car meets bike may cost big with broken pelvis and 3months off work.
Sometimes a little info can be misleading as to whats costing the cash.

Another cutout from Stuff.co.nz. If true, beurocracy at it's best... HAHA
Acc expect the NZ public to accept these huge increases to levys and cuts to entitlement but are they also going to be looking at staff costs and expenses??Why are they paying CEO Dr Jan White $560,000.00 per year for her 4 day working week and her weelky return trips to her home in Brisbane?????Yes thats right Dr Jan White flys back and forth to Brisbane every weekend.Will Acc also be cutting back staff perks & bonuses? Perks that include expensive Botox treatments and such like.
I've spent my money on bikes, booze and babes. The rest I've wasted....
Where is ACC's head office i think words/ protest required.
My katana is 673cc.... *facepalm*
I think car drivers should be covering us for some of it.
many times they are the cause so it balances out , the spokesperson for ACC said this themself less than a month ago on the herald website.
And let me guess theyve hiked ours up but they wont go putting car rego down by the claimed $70 it costs each car driver. my bet is it will remain the same or go up...
what a pack of wankers...
you guys going to sit back and let it happen, or should we get on closeup at 7 or campbell live with a group of bikers vs a spokesperson for ACC?
or are we all going to just talk shit on the internet and just sit here scratching our nuts instead.
I think that this whole debacle is a huge smoke screen to create hate toward ACC thereby allowing the government to 'rescue' us from it by privatising the insurance system.
Privatisation is a National Governmemts hallmark, it is what they have attempted to do in the past and it was a shambles then. This time they need a reason for bringing privatisation back.
ACC is a burden as far as National are concerned, they want rid of it and we will be the ones to cause it. The Fat Cats in power will be sitting in the Beehive looking out their window and waiting for the rumble of a hundred thousand motorbikes... and when that happens, they will be rubbing their chubby little hands together.

DuuuuuCaaaaaaTiiiiiiiiiiii
Claims Manager.
Im looking at you figures and see no reference to off road motorcycle accidents which having no registration pay no levy.
Motorcycles involving car accidents are less than half but I would like the information of the percentage of acc claim involving cars in dollar figures.
i am assuming that these cost more than a simply break or check up.
Car verses bike causes major injuries eg broken pelvous and three months off work.
I am requesting more information than a yearly figure and average cost since you have decided to attack my wallet.
Thanks Steve Mossman

Do this, next time you reg your bike, you get an itemised total right, OK, license bike, pay ONLY the ACC levy amount by cheque, pay the rest by cash, eftpos or whatever. Go straight to your bank and cancel the cheque.
