We offer expert help & advice for those who need to make a motorbike injury compensation claim!
Any motorcyclist who has injured their hand(s) in an accident may be able to recover hand injury compensation. Whether you have sustained a fracture or have been forced to undergo amputation, we are equipped to deal with claims for both minor and major injuries, so we can use our expertise to recover a pay-out which reflects the severity of your hand injury.
The injuries sustained by motorcyclists can be severe in the event of a road traffic accident, which is why we want to make sure that all those entitled to claim can obtain the compensation that they deserve. As a motorcyclist, you may face prejudice from other road users, who often misjudge motorcyclists as reckless or dangerous drivers. We can reassure you that, if your injury was caused through no fault of your own, we can help you to recover compensation from any driver who was responsible for the accident.
Motorcyclists often have to be wary of moving cars on the road, whose drivers sometimes fail to notice road users on smaller vehicles. But there is still a risk when car drivers are stationary: when opening a car door, some drivers or their passengers fail to use their mirrors or windows properly to check for all surrounding traffic, and they may miss a motorcyclist approaching on the road.
While many may regard this as a simple mistake, it can demonstrate a carelessness for the full range of road users that people have to look out for. In fact, the motorcyclists hit can be seriously injured in the collision, simply because of a needless mistake on the part of a driver or a passenger.
Not only are motorcyclists more vulnerable road users, they are sometimes unfairly stigmatised as more reckless or dangerous road users by some car drivers. We aim to advocate for injured motorcyclists who have sustained injuries through no fault of their own, as we know many other drivers are all too willing to shift the blame. If you are a motorcyclist who has been injured by another road user’s negligence, please do not hesitate to contact us for free, no-obligation advice on you potential claim.
Through the winter months, we naturally experience reduced daylight hours, and drivers have no choice but to make journeys through these darker nights. The problem can be more significant for motorcyclists, whose presence and visibility on the road is already less than that of car drivers anyway, without the added veil of darkness.
Nevertheless, motorcyclists are not at fault for braving the conditions in the event that another driver causes a crash. Drivers can remain entirely responsible if they fail to pay attention to motorcyclists. If you are a motorcyclist who has suffered from an accident due to the negligence of another driver, you may be entitled to claim compensation for any resultant injuries and suffering.
As far as driving is concerned, the winter months are known for their more treacherous conditions, whether it be darkness, snow, ice, or fog. Due to the reduced visibility of other vehicles on the road, foggy weather is one of the most difficult circumstances for a driver to navigate.
However, this is no excuse for careless driving, and motorcyclists should not have to bear the brunt of other drivers’ complaints of poor observation. Indeed, the complaint of reduced visibility is an attempt at a defence that some drivers may try to fall back on all too frequently, and they may try to position motorcyclists as the guilty parties in road accidents. However, if a car collides with you, you are not at fault simply because of your smaller vehicle being harder to see, and you may in fact be able to claim compensation for your injuries. Read on to find out how you could be eligible to pursue a motorbike injury claim.
It is December already, and the festive season will shortly be in full swing. Sadly, as is the case every year, this leads to some drivers getting behind the wheel after having had too much alcohol. If you are a biker hit by a drunk driver, here is what you need to know about when it comes to making a claim for personal injury compensation.
Pretty much every year we cover this topic because it is always such an important one to discuss. Whilst people know the law and know that, morally, they should never get behind the wheel when they are over the limit, people still do it. It is awful, and it kills and harms innocent people.
We cannot turn back the clock. But what we can do, as specialist Motorcycle Injury Lawyers, is ensure that any injured biker hit by a drunk driver is able to access the best justice that they deserve through a No Win, No Fee claim for personal injury compensation.
As vulnerable road users, motorcyclists can be more susceptible to injuries when they are involved in accidents, among which foot injuries can be included. The severity of a foot injury can vary from person to person, sometimes impairing mobility slightly or, in the worst cases, it can result in the amputation of one or both feet. In cases where the other party in the accident is responsible, those who have suffered injuries such as these may be able to make foot injury claims for compensation.
Motorcyclists often encounter misconceptions and prejudices against them, as other drivers can wrongfully regard them as more dangerous or reckless road users. We want to make sure that car drivers cannot fall back on these excuses in the event of an accident, so you can be confident that we will fight your corner to win the compensation you deserve. Our specialist team can offer free, no-obligation advice to anyone who thinks they may have an injury claim to make.
While jaw injuries are perhaps not the first injury we imagine when it comes to motorbike accidents, motorcyclists can be highly vulnerable in a road accident and can, therefore, be subject to many different types of injuries. It may not seem as common as a leg or arm injury, for example, but we believe that no motorcyclists should undervalue such injuries, as they may be entitled to make jaw injury claims where this kind of harm has been caused. And the damage could be extensive.
Generally speaking, each injury claim is unique, varying in severity and, therefore, in compensation value. This is why it is important to instruct expert injury lawyers when making your motorbike injury claim. Our thorough knowledge of case law and injury claims guidelines allows us to seek the maximum compensation amount possible for our clients, so contact us for advice if you think you might have a claim to make.
Whether held in front of the body or to the sides, motorcyclists often inadvertently use their arms to break their falls in road accidents, which means arms can sustain significant blows in the event of a severe collision. If you have suffered an arm injury in a motorbike accident that occurred through no fault of your own, you may be eligible to claim compensation. The value of arm injury claims can vary hugely depending on the severity of the harm caused, so read on to find out how much compensation you could be awarded. For specialist advice, make sure to contact the team without delay here.
There are thousands of motorcycle accidents in the UK every year, and one reason for this is due to the significant threat motorcyclists face from larger vehicles. Due to their exposure and lack of protection from their open-air vehicle, motorcyclists can easily suffer internal organ damage when an accident does occur.
At The Motorbike Injury Lawyers, we understand the vulnerability of motorcyclists on busy roads, and we do not believe that motorcyclists should simply accept the increased dangers with which larger vehicles confront them. As such, if you have suffered an injury in a motorbike accident through no fault of your own, you may be entitled to claim compensation.
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.
