Making a pelvic injury claim – legal advice

If you have been affected by a pelvic injury following a motorbike accident, you could be entitled to claim thousands of pounds in compensation. At the Motorbike Injury Lawyers, we understand your unique situation and we are here to guide you through the steps involved in making a pelvic injury claim simply and easily.

If the accident occurred through no fault of your own, the responsibility may fall on another road user involved in a crash. This means that you might be able to claim compensation from their insurance policy. It is important to consider all your legal options following a motorcycle accident, as this could be your route to obtaining some recompense for the damage that has been done to your mobility and way of life in serious injury cases.

Considering your eligibility for a pelvic injury claim

First of all, your initial eligibility for a pelvic injury claim can depend on the manner in which the accident occurred. Claims will usually rely on the mistake or intent of the other driver. For instance, if the driver crashes into the back of you, drives into your path when turning out of the junction or when changing lanes, or hits you while overtaking a vehicle on the other side of the road, they could be found at fault in such cases. There are many other examples we could give, but the main thing to remember is that, if you were riding safely, the blame could then fall to another party. This means that you may be eligible to claim compensation.

Another important point to be aware of when making your compensation claim is that you are not claiming solely for the pelvic injury itself. You can potentially claim for all the negative side-effects that have been forced upon you as a result of the accident. As such, you may be eligible to claim for:

• Physical and psychological suffering.
• Any existing lost earnings due to time off work.
• Any future lost earnings if the injury is severe and you will be prevented from working for longer.
• The cost of repairing or replacing your bike and any protective gear.

How much compensation can you win?

Your injury and consequent suffering can fall into different categories of severity. Generally speaking, the more severe your pain, suffering and losses are deemed to be, the higher the amount of compensation awarded could be. Typically, the evaluation of the severity will be based upon your own testimony, medical evidence and proof of expenses.

To establish the specific value of your pelvic injury claim, we will need to discuss your case with you and pursue the appropriate evidence in order to understand how much you may be entitled to receive.
