Personal Injury
Motorcycle accident solicitors
Motorcyclists are exposed to serious injury when other road users fail to take proper care. Even where protective equipment is worn, a collision can result in fractures, spinal injuries, head injuries, soft tissue injuries, psychological trauma and long periods away from work.
We advise motorcyclists injured in collisions with cars, vans, lorries, buses, taxis and other vehicles. We also assist with claims involving uninsured or untraced drivers, poor road surfaces and disputes about liability or contributory negligence.
Motorcycle accident claims
We can assist with claims involving:
- Junction collisions, filtering disputes and drivers turning across a motorcycle.
- Rear-end collisions and unsafe lane changes.
- Roundabout, overtaking and right-turn accidents.
- Uninsured, untraced or hit-and-run drivers.
- Defective road surfaces, diesel spills or poor highway maintenance.
- Damage to motorcycles, helmets, clothing and specialist equipment.
Liability and evidence
Motorcycle claims can be contested, with insurers sometimes alleging excessive speed, unsafe filtering or failure to anticipate another driver’s actions. Evidence such as police reports, witness accounts, dashcam footage, helmet camera footage, vehicle damage, scene photographs and accident reconstruction evidence may be important.
We will consider the full circumstances of the accident and respond to any attempt to unfairly blame the rider. Where there is a genuine contributory negligence issue, we will advise clearly on risk and settlement strategy.
Injury and financial loss
Motorcycle accidents often cause significant orthopaedic injuries, head injuries, spinal injuries, scarring and psychological symptoms. Compensation may include pain and suffering, lost earnings, future loss, treatment, rehabilitation, travel, care, bike damage and equipment losses.
Where injuries are serious, we will consider specialist medical evidence, rehabilitation needs and whether interim payments should be requested to ease financial pressure while the claim continues.
Practical support for riders
We understand that many riders rely on their motorcycle for commuting, work or daily independence. The loss of the bike and confidence on the road can be a significant part of the overall impact.
We will guide you through the claims process and work to secure compensation that reflects the true consequences of the collision.
