Motorcycle Claim

 

A motorcycle accident is a road collision involving at least one motorbike. Most motorcycle accidents where the motorcyclist is the victim are caused by careless car drivers. These accidents often occur at junctions where the car driver has failed to look properly. The majority of motorcycle accidents happen on rural roads rather than motorways. Motorcyclists have the highest risk of being seriously injured in road accidents than any other vehicle.

Usually you have up to 3 years from when the accident occurred to make a claim.

For industrial disease claims, you have 3 years from when you realise that your symptoms are caused by a work-related illness, or when it is discovered by a medical expert.

What is an industrial disease?

An industrial disease is a health condition or illness caused by an unsafe work environment. For example you work as a construction worker and develop tinnitus or hearing loss as a result of the constant loud noise in the background.

Other forms of industrial diseases caused by your work include repetitive strain injury, vibration white finger and mesothelioma (asbestos poisoning).

How much compensation will I get?

There are many factors that determine how much compensation you will get, such as:
• what part(s) of the body you have injured
• the severity of the injury
• how long it will take to fully recover
• any loss of earnings
• payment for treatment
• and more…
Every case is different so we cannot say upfront how much compensation you are due.

Do I need to go to court?

Only 5% of cases we handle go to trial. The court is seen as a last resort when neither side can come to an agreement on liability (the fault of the accident), or settlement offer, or other.
We will always try to do everything we can to settle a case before it reaches the court. In the event it does reach the court, we will fully support and prepare you for this.

What is NO WIN, NO FEE?

 

It is an agreement that we will only charge for our service if we help you win your case. In the reverse, this also means that you will not have to pay us for our time if your claim is unsuccessful. The majority of personal injury claims we take on will be on a no win, no fee policy. This will be made clear to you when you bring your claim to us.
The no win, no fee system makes us affordable to all because there are no upfront costs to pay. Simply pick up the phone, tell us about the accident and we will assess whether we can help you with your claim or not.
