Motorcyclists are among the most vulnerable road users, and accidents can lead to severe, life-changing injuries.
If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle accident that wasn’t your fault, you may be entitled to motorbike injury compensation. At CEL Solicitors, our expert team specialises in motorcycle accident claims, ensuring you receive the support and financial compensation you deserve.
If you have been injured in a motorbike accident that wasn’t your fault, you may be able to claim. Our team of expert motorcycle injury lawyers can assess your case and guide you moving forward with your claim, helping you secure the compensation you deserve.
A strong case for a motorbike accident claim will clearly highlight that the fault lies with the other party. Some of the most common reasons why motorcycle accidents can happen, and where liability is clear, include:
Motorists failing to check blind spots, making sudden lane changes, or ignoring traffic signals.
When a driver flees the scene after hitting a motorcyclist.
Potholes, uneven surfaces, and road debris can cause serious accidents.
This could include brakes, tyres, or mechanical failures leading to an accident.
When a parked vehicle opens its door into the path of an oncoming motorcyclist.
Passengers riding on the back of motorcycles are vulnerable to injury, especially if the motorcyclist is driving recklessly.
However, even if you’re unsure who was at fault, our motorcycle accident solicitors can assess your case and determine the best action.
A motorcycle accident can leave more than just physical wounds. The emotional toll, time off work, and ongoing medical needs can all affect your well-being. Bringing a motorbike injury claim can help ease that burden and give you the support you need to move forward. Here’s what your compensation could cover:
You may be entitled to recover the cost of any private treatment, medication, or follow-up care not fully covered by the NHS.
If your injuries have kept you from working — even temporarily — you could claim for lost income, including future losses if your ability to work has been affected.
This includes compensation for the physical pain and emotional distress caused by the incident, including anxiety or PTSD.
You may need physiotherapy, counselling, or other forms of specialist care. A claim can help you access the right support for your recovery.
In more serious cases, you may be awarded general damages for any lasting disability, trauma, or changes to your quality of life.
Let us take the pressure off and help you move forward with confidence.
Making a claim is easy. Here’s what to do:
Even if your injuries seem minor, a medical report can support your claim.
Collect any evidence, such as medical reports, witness details, CCTV footage, or photos of the accident scene.
If a vehicle was involved, ensure the motorcycle collision is reported to the police and obtain an incident number.
Our team will assess your case and guide you through the process on a no-win, no-fee basis.

You may still be eligible for compensation under split liability, where the fault is shared between two parties. Your compensation may be reduced based on your level of responsibility, but you can still claim
You have three years from the date of the accident – or three years from the date of discovering the accident – to bring a personal injury claim. Those aged under 18 have until their 21st birthday to bring a claim. Despite this limit, acting promptly gives a better chance of success.
Key evidence includes medical records, accident reports, witness statements, photographs of the accident scene, CCTV footage, and any other documentation that supports your claim. The more evidence you can provide, the greater your chance of success.
The amount of compensation varies based on the severity and impact of your injuries, medical expenses, lost earnings, and other related costs. A solicitor can provide an estimate based on similar cases and guidelines.
For claims involving an uninsured driver, we can look at recovering funds via the Motor Insurer’s Bureau.
For hit-and-run incidents, if the driver cannot be traced, we would need to discuss your specific options.
Most claims are settled outside of court, but if liability is disputed, your case may go to trial. Our experienced solicitors will support you every step of the way.
We operate on a no-win, no-fee basis, so you won’t pay any legal fees unless your claim is successful.
Yes – if you were riding as a pillion passenger on the back of a motorcycle and you have been injured, you can make a claim. In this scenario, it’s unlikely that the accident will have been any fault of your own, so you’ll likely have a strong case for compensation.
