Motorcycle Accident Claims and Compensation

If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle accident due to someone else‘s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation by filing a motorcycle accident claim.

Motorcycle accidents can lead to severe injuries, often more so than other types of road traffic incidents, due to the lack of protection a motorcycle provides.

About No Win No Fee

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents can happen for various reasons, many of which involve negligence or poor driving habits from other road users. Common causes of motorcycle accidents include:

Failure to see the motorcycle: Other drivers fail to check blind spots or signals when changing lanes.
Speeding: Excessive speed can lead to loss of control or failure to react to changing road conditions.
Reckless driving: Tailgating, unsafe overtaking, or aggressive driving that puts motorcycle riders at risk.
Poor road conditions: Potholes, debris, or poor weather conditions can be hazardous for motorcyclists.
Alcohol or drug impairment: Driving under the influence can significantly impair a driver’s ability to respond quickly or safely.

If your accident was caused by any of these factors, our motorcycle accident solicitors can help you pursue a compensation claim.

Who Can Make a Motorcycle Accident Claim?

You may be eligible to make a motorcycle accident claim if you were injured due to someone else’s negligence. This includes:

Motorcyclists – If another driver caused the accident, and you were injured, you can claim for your injuries and damages.
Passengers – If you were a passenger on a motorcycle and were injured in an accident, you can seek compensation.
Cyclists – Vulnerable road users such as cyclists who are injured due to negligent drivers can claim compensation.
Pedestrians – If you were struck by a motorcycle due to reckless driving or poor road conditions, you may be entitled to make a claim.
Horse riders – If you were riding a horse and involved in an accident with a motorcycle, you may be able to make a compensation claim.

If you’re unsure whether you’re eligible to make a claim, contact our motorcycle accident solicitors for expert guidance.

Common Injuries in Motorcycle Traffic Accidents

Whiplash and neck injuries
Head and brain injuries
Fractures and broken bones. Particularly in the arms, legs, and ribs, typically requiring surgery and long recovery periods.

Testimonials

They were extremely professional and handled my case with care. Grace Newbold was amazing throughout, communicating with me all the way through and offering exceptional support in a time that was enormously daunting and scary. I was quick to receive medical help including physio therapy. The 2 years my claim was going on Grace and the team provided a service that was outstanding, in a time that was extremely hard for me. I would recommend ASD highly and will be referring anyone who is needing their services. Thank you again to ASD and Grace for supporting me through a difficult time and doing this with professionalism, care and compassion.

Grace Chapman, Sheffield – Client of Solicitor, Grace Newbold

Professional, Highly Recommended I was recommended ASD from a family member. I am so pleased I followed this up. Chris Chappell has been so professional, caring, understanding and honest throughout the process. It has meant a lot.

It’s been one of the hardest times for me, especially losing my job as well, whilst off work and in a pandemic. It has taught me a lot about companies, but it has also made me realise companies like yours are there to help.

I had never been in this position before and it was a very hard time for me.

Roger Parkin, Rotherham – Client of Solicitor, Grace Newbold

I contacted ASD after being involved in a serious accident that left me with a significant leg injury.

ASD offered a home appointment as I was unable to travel and visited within 24 hours of me contacting them.

Throughout my case I was updated regularly and everything was explained clearly. Any phone calls or emails that I sent were answered quickly and I was never left waiting for a response.

I was supported throughout; I was dealing with a traumatic incident and ASD kindly arranged for counselling to be provided.

I am very grateful to Ralph and his team for everything they did but also showing compassion and giving reassurance throughout and most of all understanding what I was going through.

How long do I have to make a motorcycle accident claim?

You generally have three years from the date of the accident to make a claim. However, it’s always best to start the process as soon as possible.

Can I make a claim if the other driver was uninsured?

Yes, you may still be able to claim through the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB) if the driver responsible for the accident was uninsured or untraceable.

How much compensation will I receive?

Compensation varies depending on the severity of your injuries and their impact on your life. Our road traffic accident solicitors will assess your case and provide an estimate.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

Even if you were partly responsible, you may still be entitled to compensation. However, the amount of compensation may be reduced based on your share of the blame.
