Understanding Your Rights

What is a motorbike accident claim?

A motorbike accident claim allows you to seek compensation when another person or organisation causes your injuries. This could involve a careless driver, a poorly maintained road or a defective motorcycle part. Compensation may cover your pain, treatment costs, lost earnings and other related losses.

What you can claim for

You can claim for physical injuries, psychological harm, loss of earnings, rehabilitation costs, and damage to your motorbike or riding gear.

Who can be held responsible?

Depending on what happened, a claim can be brought against another driver, a local authority, or in some cases a vehicle or parts manufacturer.

Will claiming affect my insurance?

Claiming for injuries caused by another party’s negligence typically does not negatively affect your own insurance premiums.

Case Example

What a claim like yours can look like

 

“A driver pulled out in front of me without seeing me, and I suffered serious injuries in the collision. My solicitor arranged for the accident to be independently reconstructed, secured interim payments to help with treatment and everyday costs, and handled all contact with the insurer. That support meant I could concentrate on my recovery instead of worrying about the claim.”

Sophie B. (Name changed)

Typical Outcome

Settled

Evidence from the accident reconstruction helped establish responsibility, allowing the claim to be settled without court proceedings. Interim payments also provided support during the claimant’s recovery. Every claim is different, and the outcome, timescale and compensation will depend on the individual circumstances.

Can I claim compensation for injuries in a motorcycle accident?

Yes, you can claim compensation if another party’s negligence caused or contributed to the incident. This includes drivers, local authorities, or vehicle manufacturers in some cases. You have the right to claim for physical injuries, psychological harm, loss of earnings, and rehabilitation costs.

Every motorbike accident claim is different. The amount depends on the circumstances of the accident, the seriousness of your injuries, the treatment and support you need, and the impact on your quality of life and ability to work.

Due to limited physical protection, motorcyclists commonly suffer fractures, head and brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and internal injuries, ranging from mild to severe depending on the collision.

Claiming compensation for injuries caused by another party typically does not negatively affect your own insurance premiums. It’s important to report the accident accurately and seek legal guidance to protect your position.

Generally, you have three years from the date of the accident to bring a claim. It’s best to start as early as possible, giving your solicitor enough time to gather evidence and witness statements while details are fresh.

Most of our motorbike accident claims are handled on a no win no fee basis, so there’s no upfront cost and you only pay a pre-agreed fee if your claim succeeds.
