MOTORBIKE ACCIDENT CLAIMS
We are a national network of specialist personal injury solicitors who deal exclusively in road traffic matters and we succeed in over 95% of our motorbike accident claims. We operate the no win no fee scheme with no financial contribution from you. Compensation is paid in full with absolutely no deductions and you won't have to pay us or your solicitor one penny. We are not a claims management company and you do not have to fund or finance your claim in any respect.
If you were injured by an uninsured or untraced driver then a claim can still be made to the Motor Insurers Bureau which is a fund set up to compensate the victims of untraced or uninsured drivers. The fund is financed by a levy on all motor insurance companies which effectively means that drivers of all vehicles contribute through their annual premium. Financial arrangements differ for Motor Insurers Bureau claims dependent on which scheme is appropriate for the claim.
If you were injured as a result of disrepair of the road including potholes, uneven surface or loose gravel then a claim for compensation for personal injury can often be made to the authority responsible for maintenance of the highway.
Motorbike accident claims are dealt with by our specialist personal injury solicitors who will attempt to establish 3 things to entitle you to receive compensation;
- Liability entails establishing who was at fault and caused the accident. In most road traffic accidents liability is often straightforward but there are still disputes. Damages may be reduced by a percentage to reflect contributory negligence, if both parties share the blame.
- Causation means that it must be established that the compensation claimed for the injury relates to the accident. Both the extent of the injury and causation are usually covered by a medical report obtained following examination by a consultant who is experienced in dealing with accident claims.
- Damages is a sum of money that represents compensation for the losses and pain and suffering caused as a result of the accident and includes;
- General Damages:
This is a sum of money to compensate for the pain, suffering and loss of amenity as a result of an accident and is evidenced by the medical consultants report obtained on your behalf.
