Motorcycle Accident Claims

Many motorcycle accidents can take place on T-junctions, in bad weather, or when overtaking. We’ve listed below what motorcyclists can do to try to avoid an accident and injury in these circumstances: Be alert and anticipate other road users’ moves;
Wear bright clothing, or use dipped headlights, to help ensure you’re seen;
Make sure you know what’s coming up ahead and overtaking near bends or junctions;
Take extra care in the rain, ice and fog, and stick to sensible and legal speeds;
Reduce the extent of your injuries by wearing good quality motorbike clothes.

If you or a relative have been injured in a motorbike accident within the last three years, and the accident was caused by another road user, then you should consider making a claim with our motorbike accident solicitors.

‍

The amount of personal injury compensation you could be entitled to depends on the extent of your injuries and the financial, physical and emotional impact it has had on you and your family. Thompsons Solicitors’ motorcycle injury lawyers can give you an idea of what you could be entitled to after reviewing details of your case. Our motorbike accident solicitors use their decades of experience as well as industry best practice guidelines to calculate how much your motorcycle accident claim is worth. Thompsons Solicitors will make sure you are given a realistic estimate of how much compensation you are likely to receive, and will fight hard to make sure you are not short-changed.

We do not believe your financial circumstances should dictate whether you can make a motorbike accident claim for an injury suffered. If you are a trade union member, or if you have a trade union member in your family, Thompsons Solicitors’ legal advice and representation is free. If you’re not a trade union member, we have different funding choices available, which we can talk you through. They include what is often referred to as a ‘no win, no fee’ option. More details of this can be found on our fees and payments page. We believe in being completely transparent about our fees and charges, and will be honest about the likelihood of your case succeeding and how much motorbike injury compensation you are likely to receive.

‍

Every motorbike accident claim is different and some take longer than others. Where the claim is likely to be contested or involves serious injuries, your motorcycle injury lawyer will often make applications for an interim payment to make sure your financial needs are covered in the meantime. You can be assured that we will always aim to settle your motorcycle accident claim as quickly as possible.

‍

Motorbike injuries can vary considerably depending on the scale of the accident. There is no set list of injuries covered by motorcycle compensation claims but these can be both physical and psychological. From a firefighter who lost his leg after being knocked off his bike by another road user to a young motorcyclist who suffered a major head injury after being hit by an uninsured driver, Thompsons Solicitors’ motorcycle accident lawyers have helped thousands of bikers across the UK to secure compensation for their injuries. We have also supported the family members of riders killed by the irresponsible actions of other road users.
