Claiming for your motorcycle accident caused by lane filtering

A common cause of motorbike accidents when lane filtering is involved is when other vehicles fail to look out for motorbikes and only look out for other vehicles. An example can include a car pulling out into your path whilst you are safely overtaking traffic. This kind of incident could lead to serious accidents and injuries if you are hit unexpectedly.

Other causes for potential claims like this can include:

• Other vehicles Changing lanes into your path whilst lane filtering through traffic;
• Another vehicle turns right into your path whilst you are safely overtaking traffic;
• Another road user pulls across you from the opposing side of a road.

If you have been involved in an accident that was caused by any of the above, you could be eligible to make a compensation claim now.

What can I claim for?

When involved in a motorbike lane filtering accident, it is important to know exactly what you could claim for.

We can look at claiming compensation for things such as:

• Any pain, suffering and loss of amenity caused. Generally speaking, the more you suffer, the more we may be able to recover for you;
• Losses and expenses, such as lost earnings from time off work, private treatment expenses, medication expenses, travel expenses to and from appointments, etc;
• Damages to either repair or replace your bike and any equipment and clothing like helmets and gloves.

We can also instruct an independent medical expert to assess your injuries and provide a report for us to use as evidence in your case. We can use this to assess the value of a claim and to help to support any potential losses and expenses that you wish to claim for.

In the event that the accident was partially your fault, you could still be eligible to make a compensation claim. We will always aim to fight for a 100% compensation claim for you but, in the event that you are found to be partially responsible, the compensation can be split.

For example, if the blame is found to be split 70/30, where you are 30% at fault, you may face a reduction of 30% from your claim to take this into account. Importantly, you can still make a claim.
