Motorbike neck injury claims advice

You could be entitled to claim compensation with us for a motorbike injury involving your neck. We operate on a No Win, No Fee basis and are here to help you with free, no-obligation advice about neck injury claims.

This article will give you general neck injury compensation advice, based on official guidelines. However, please remember that each case will differ, and a more in-depth evaluation is required to give you the best claim advice that can be offered.

Are you eligible to claim compensation?

Injured victims can be eligible to make neck injury claims if involved in a motorbike accident that has caused damage to the neck area.

There are two main ways we value a claim: the first is looking at General Damages, which includes the pain, suffering and loss of amenity caused. The second is Special Damages which covers any losses and expenses that you may incur.

How much could you receive for neck injury claims?

We can provide a rough estimate for your neck injury compensation case, with the figures provided from official guidelines. Please note that they are subject to change following expert medical evaluation.

Neck injuries can cover a wide range of problems, with many found in conjunction with back and shoulder problems. Here, we can go over three brackets of neck injuries for some general guidance for you.

The first bracket covers minor soft tissue injuries where a full recovery is made within certain time frames:

• Where a full recovery is made within three months, you could claim up to £2,150
• Where a full recovery takes place between three months and a year, it could be up to £3,800
• Where a full recovery takes place within a period of about one to two years, damages can be up to £6,900

The second bracket covers moderate injuries, such as fractures or dislocations, which can cause severe and immediate symptoms:

• Injuries which may have accelerated and/or exacerbated a pre-existing condition over a shorter period of time, usually less than five years, claims can be valued up to £12,000
• Cases involving soft tissue or wrenching-type injury and disc lesion of the more severe type. Injuries which may have accelerated and/or exacerbated a pre-existing condition over a prolonged period of time, usually by five years or more – claim up to £21,900
• Injuries such as fractures or dislocations which cause severe immediate symptoms, and which may necessitate spinal fusion, including chronic conditions; claims can be up to £33,700

The final bracket covers severe neck injury claims as follows:
