Claiming compensation for motorcycle neck injuries

You may be eligible to claim compensation for motorcycle neck injuries. When can you, and how much can you claim?

If the accident happened because someone else is at fault, you should have a valid claim for personal injury compensation. You can normally claim damages for the pain, suffering and loss of amenity you have to endure. You can also claim for losses and expenses as well (like lost earnings from being off work).

Whether another driver has caused an accident, or where the fault lies with a company or the council, you may have a claim. In terms of motorcycle neck injuries, how much can you receive?

How much can you claim for motorcycle neck injuries?

To value the amount you can claim for motorcycle neck injuries, we use:

• Expert reports;
• Your testimony;
• Medical records;
• Our experience;
• Case law and precedents.

The expert report is the really important bit. This can allow us to use a combination of the other factors to then value the claim for compensation.

For neck injuries, the precedents say you could roughly claim amounts as follows:

• Full recovery within three months: up to £2,500.00;
• Recovery within three months to a year: up to £3,810.00;
• Full recovery within one to two years: up to £6,920.00.

With many motorcycle injuries being serious, we need to take more care with the more severe injuries.

In terms of the guidelines:

• Wrenching injuries, disc lesions, more severe neck injuries with serious limitation of movement, and some permanence in terms of pain and increased risks of future problems: up to around £20,000.00;
• Fractures and dislocations with severe problems thereafter, or chronic conditions being developed, or longer-term vulnerabilities and accelerated degenerative changes: up to £33,000.00;

The more serious injuries can go as high as around £130,000.00. We do have to assess these claims on a case-by-case basis, but the above can be helpful as guideline. For serious injuries, you should speak to our Serious Injury Claims Team directly for further advice!

Any losses and expenses claim can then go on top of the amount for the injuries, which is what we’ve covered above.
