Motorbike knee injuries and compensation amounts

Motorbike knee injuries can be common when riders are involved in accidents. You’re likely to come off your bike or at least hit your knee, so we see these kinds of injuries a lot.

Knee injuries can be serious. It can be easy to do long-term damage when the knee joint is disrupted in any way at all. It can be easy for a rider to be left with permanent problems, and the need for surgery is also common. That’s why compensation amounts for motorbike knee injuries can be quite high, as we have to make sure that any damages received reflect what the victim has to go through.

Here’s a little advice about what to expect for this type of claim, and how much compensation you could be entitled to receive.

Private treatment for a motorcycle accident

If you instruct us for a legal case, we may be able to offer private treatment for a motorcycle accident as part of your personal injury claim.

When you make a case, it isn’t just about making sure you receive the damages that you’re legally entitled to recover. There’s also a duty to make sure that you recover as quickly as possible, which is why treatment can often be essential. But since it isn’t always east to access treatment quickly with the NHS, it can be possible to have private treatment. This can be included as part of a legal case, and it’s something that we may be able to help you with.

We’re proud to be able to offer a range of extensive options as part of the service we offer for our clients.

Who’s at fault when a biker hits a car door?

In this common and potentially serious kind of scenario, who’s at fault when a biker hits a car door? Can a biker claim for personal injury compensation?

Without being too vague, it all does depend on the circumstances of the accident, and we do assess matters on a case-by-case basis. That being said, there’s certainly a duty for drivers – and their passengers – to ensure they only ever open a car door when it’s safe to do so. Easy distractions can mean that this kind of accident can be common, but it can lead to serious injuries for the rider.

Here’s a little advice about what to do as a rider if this has happened to you.

Motorbike claim with contributory negligence

A motorbike claim with contributory negligence can be a common occurrence as some drivers try to argue that you were partially to blame; whether they’re right or wrong.

Contributory negligence simply means that you, as the rider, were in some way to blame for the accident or the injuries that occurred. It’s an argument that you partially bear some responsibility, and there are loads of arguments often used by drivers when bikers are injured in accidents. These can include arguments that you were speeding, or weaving dangerously, or overtaking without full due care and attention.

These arguments mean you may still have a claim where the underlying blame for the accident does lye with a driver, but this can still harm your case. A motorbike claim with contributory negligence often means a reduction in the compensation you receive. So, how do we stop this happening?
