We offer expert help & advice for those who need to make a motorbike injury compensation claim!
If you’re the injured victim of a motorbike accident that has been caused by a drunk driver, you’re not alone; especially over the Christmas period.
Sadly, at this time of the year, there are still some road users out there who are prepared to drive when they’re over the legal limit for alcohol. The law is clear in terms of this being illegal, and the punishments are also clear as well. Despite this, many who engage in such behaviour feel like they can get away with it, and in some cases they do.
In other cases, they crash and cause an accident. If you’re ever injured as a rider and the other road user that has caused the accident as under the influence behind the wheel, know your rights!
When it comes to compensation for being knocked off your motorbike, it’s important to instruct expert lawyers who can properly represent you for a case.
We often reference the fact that, in many motorcycle accident compensation claims, the values can be quite high; especially when compared to other standard road accidents. Bikers are not given the same protection that a car or other larger vehicle offers, so injuries can be typically more severe.
And this is especially the case when you are knocked off your bike and end up colliding with another vehicle yourself, or even hitting the tarmac (or both).
If you want some advice about the average compensation for motorcycle accident cases in England and Wales, we can advise.
First things first, we need to explain in detail how exactly we work out the value of your motorbike injury claim. We also need to outline what it is that you may be able to include as part of a legal case, as this can ultimately change how much you could be entitled to receive.
Importantly, valuing a claim is not an exact science. It’s also subject to the nature of the accident and the injuries you have suffered as well.
We want to be the best motorbike injury lawyers for you that we can possibly be, and we can do this by the service that we offer and through our extensive experience.
We primarily focus on serious motorbike accident compensation claims, and it’s in these types of cases where the importance of choosing the right lawyer can be vital. Many motorcycle accident claims are serious given that bikers have far less protection on the roads when compared with other users, so we’re used to seeing more complex injuries
Here’s a little insight about us and the service that we can offer.
It’s that time of year again where motorbike accidents at night will likely increase as a result of the clocks going back over last weekend.
Although bikers are usually easy to spot given the specialist lights used on many bikes, as well as the use of reflective clothing, the darker nights can always mean greater risks. It can be harder to pick out exactly where a bike is positioned, and it may be difficult to judge how close a rider is as well.
With this in mind, drivers need to make sure that they take extra care to look out for riders, and any injured bikers need to know their rights when it comes to making a claim for personal injury compensation.
Motorcycle traffic light accidents can be common, and injured riders may be able to claim with us on a No Win, No Fee basis.
As specialist motorbike accident lawyers, we know that it isn’t always plain sailing when the other party in an accident tries to defend a case, or simply tries to make out that you’re at fault. The importance of building your case early on can be the difference between succeeding with a claim or having to accept a split in liability.

If you need to make a fractured cheekbone compensation claim as a rider who has been injured in a motorbike accident that wasn’t your fault, we may be able to help you.
These kinds of injuries aren’t usually too common, given that the helmet should be enough to prevent a facial injury of this kind. That doesn’t mean that they don’t happen at all, though. If the impact is severe or hard enough, it may be that any collision – even with a proper helmet on – leads to facial fractures.
We’ll take a look here about when you may be able to claim, and how much in compensation you may be entitled to receive.
When it comes to motorcycle compensation claim timeframes, it isn’t always an exact science, but we can give you a little guidance about what you may be able to expect.
One of the key things that we need to consider is the liability aspect of the case. If the opponent accepts liability early, we can normally give you better guidance about how long a claim could take. If they intend to defend the case then we may have a legal battle on our hands, and it can be hard to determine how long a case could take in those kinds of scenarios.
The other important thing to consider is the extent and the severity of your injuries. If we’re talking about serious injuries, it may take longer to settle a claim as we may need to do a great deal more work for you. This is all in your best interests.
The level of awards that can be applied in cases for scarring injury compensation can be high when the disfigurement is serious and noticeable.
Unlike many other injuries, this type of award is assessed by taking the personal circumstances of the injured rider into greater account. It can depend on how an injured biker feels about the scarring, as there are those who would not be bothered by some scarring, whereas others would be affected more.
We’ll take a brief look at how we value these types of claims and the sorts of things that we will take into account.
Motorbike crashes from road debris can leave a rider seriously injured in the same way a collision with another vehicle can. Riders can be eligible to make a claim for personal injury compensation, and we may be able to represent you for a case on a No Win, No Fee basis.
In this article, we’ll briefly look at some of the ways where a rider may be able to claim when a crash is caused by debris. In some cases, we can establish a claim for negligence, and you can be entitled to damages for any pain, suffering and loss of amenity caused. You may also be able to claim for losses and expenses as well.
