Motorbike Accident Claims

Yes, you can claim compensation for injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident if another party’s negligence caused or contributed to the incident. 

This includes drivers, local authorities, or even vehicle manufacturers in some cases. You have the right to claim for physical injuries, psychological harm, loss of earnings, and rehabilitation costs. 

To strengthen your case, it’s vital to gather evidence such as medical records, witness statements, and accident reports as soon as possible.

Every motorbike accident claim is different. The amount of compensation you will acquire will depend on several factors:
 1. Circumstances surrounding the accident
 2. Seriousness of injuries caused to the rider
 3. Kind of treatment/support you need after your accident
 4. Whether or not you are in need for ongoing support
There are other factors which influence the compensation you may receive. For example: The impact on your quality of life, psychological impact from the incident, modifications needed for either your home or vehicle.

Immediately after a motorcycle accident, seek medical help after ensuring your safety first. You should report the accident to the police after collecting information from the witnesses. You could also document and click pictures of the accident to present evidence of it to the insurance companies.

Motorbike accidents happen most commonly at near junctions, with one of the main causes being a car intersecting the path of the biker or vice versa – this happens most commonly near exits.

Also, motorbike accidents are caused by bikers sliding on various substances like mud, oil, greasy roads, etc.

If you have experienced such an accident, you may be eligible for a claim.

Due to little or no solid protection for the motorcyclists during the accident, they can suffer serious to mild injuries depending upon the accident or collision impact.

The most common injures that occur during the motorcycle accidents are:
 1. Fractures
 2. Head and brain injuries
 3. Spinal cord injuries
 4. Internal injuries

A motorbike accident claim can influence your car insurance premiums, particularly if you are found liable or claim on your own policy. 

Insurers may view your driving record as higher risk, which could increase future premiums. However, claiming compensation for injuries caused by another party typically does not negatively impact your insurance.

 It’s important to report accidents accurately and seek legal guidance to protect your rights while minimising any potential insurance consequences.

Generally, in most motorbike crash claims, there is a 3-year time limit. So, you have upto three years from the event of the accident to make your motorcycle accident claim.
