Start Your Claim NowMotorcyclists injured due to spillage accidents could be entitled to pursue a claim for personal injury compensation and we may be able to provide you with No Win, No Fee legal representation.
We specialise in assisting injured riders who have suffered from serious injuries, and this can be common for bikers injured out on the roads. With much less protection than a car can offer, riders are often injured badly, and it is vital for us to fight for your right to compensation.
There are a number of ways in which you could pursue a motorbike injury compensation claim that arises from spillage accidents. Always make sure to speak to the team here for free, no-obligation advice anyway, but some examples where you could claim can include:
Being able to claim often comes down to the origin of the spillage and how it has happened. If it is caused by a person not in any capacity of work or industry (like a person who spills domestic paint on a road when crossing it) then it can be hard to claim. Your claim would be against them as an individual, and most people do not have personal insurance or funds to settle a claim with. If they were a professionally employed painter and it happened in the capacity of their employment, their employer could be held vicariously liable and you could claim that way.
When it comes to spillages from vehicles, it may not matter if it originates from a personal vehicle used for domestic and pleasure usages. Vehicles are supposed to be insured, so a case could go against the insurer of the vehicle or driver. If they are uninsured then your claim could be pursued through the Motor Insurers’ Bureau who can cover uninsured drivers.
It can be hard to claim for spillage accidents where the origin cannot be traced, but it is not necessarily impossible. You could be eligible to pursue a case using the Motor Insurers’ Bureau Untraced Driver Scheme, but this does hinge on a few key qualifying factors.
One is that you normally must at least prove that the spillage originated from an untraced driver. After all, it could have been from a person, which does not usually meet the criteria for an MIB claim. The best thing to do is to contact us and we will see if we can help you, but a lot of it can come down to the circumstances and the evidence at hand.
