Motorbike Accident Compensation — Claim for your Injury
Motorbike accidents are an especially serious type of road traffic accident. The injuries that motorcyclists are likely to suffer tend to be much more serious than those of car drivers. The risk of severe injury or even fatality is considerably higher. This is why compensation awards for motorbike accidents will be considerably higher than other RTA claims, especially when the motorcycle driver was totally not at fault for the accident.
The Types of Injuries from a Motorbike Accident That we Cover
Unfortunately, the injuries caused by motorbike accidents are numerous, but they most commonly include:
- Head and Brain Injuries – these tend to be the most severe and can result in permanent damage, warranting a compensation award of anything between £3,000 and £300,000, depending on severity.
- Abrasions and Road Rash – this skin injury, following a fall on a hard surface, can be very painful, and any permanent scarring can attract an award of up to £2,000, again depending on severity.
- Leg Injuries – from soft tissue damage to amputation, leg injuries warrant a compensation award of between £6,000 and £200,000, also depending on severity.
- Biker’s Arm – nerve damage to the upper arm that causes permanent paralysis of arm movement can attract up to £100,000.
If someone suffers one or more of these injuries in a motorbike accident that wasn’t their fault, then they may be able to claim compensation, and on a no win, no fee * basis. If you — or loved one — is thinking about claiming compensation following a motorbike accident, our specialist personal injury solicitors ** can help. We will use Our experience and knowledge of personal injury law to build a strong case and make an assessment of the amount you should claim for.
How to Make a Motorbike Accident Claim for Compensation
To make a compensation claim, someone else must be responsible for the motorbike accident that caused the injury. If an accident is caused by a defective road, pothole or any other problem with the road’s surface, then it may be possible to make a motorbike claim against the local authority. This is because they are responsible for maintaining the condition of the road. If another road user caused a collision or a motorcyclist to lose control, then it will be possible to make a motorbike accident claim against them for compensation.
To establish that someone else caused the accident that led to injury, and that they are liable to compensate the injured person for that loss, it is necessary to show that they acted negligently. This means carrying out a detailed investigation of the circumstances of the accident, including visiting the site of the accident and contacting witnesses and experts. Our solicitors ** will be able to thoroughly assess all the circumstances, using our legal expertise and experience of the legal process to build a strong case justifying your entitlement to compensation.
Claiming in the case of a Motorbike Accident Fatality
It’s very unfortunate that motorcycle accidents can lead to fatalities. If a loved one has died in a motorcycle accident that was caused by another person, the family can claim compensation on behalf of the deceased. Please contact our solicitors ** for more information.
How we Assess Motorbike Compensation Amounts
Making a motorbike accident claim also involves proving the extent of the loss you have suffered as a result of the other party’s negligence. You must also set out how much compensation you are claiming for the motorbike accident, which wholly depends on the particular circumstances of the accident. This requires an investigation into the accident. Such as the physical and psychological injuries suffered, damage to the motorbike and any other personal property, the loss of earnings, loss of future earnings, and any other expenses accrued as a result. Our specialist personal injury solicitors ** will carry out a forensic investigation into the loss you have suffered as a result of your motorbike accident and ensure you claim the maximum compensation you are entitled to.
It’s important to bear in mind that all personal injury claims are subject to strict time limits, and you can only claim motorcycle accident compensation within three years of suffering your injury. It’s therefore critical to start your claim as soon as possible, so that it doesn’t fall foul of the UK’s limitation rules.
