Can I Make a Motorcycle Accident Claim?

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:

Reckless or Careless Drivers:

Motorists failing to check blind spots, making sudden lane changes, or ignoring traffic signals.

Hit-and-Run Incidents:

When a driver flees the scene after hitting a motorcyclist.

Poorly Maintained Roads:

Potholes, uneven surfaces, and road debris can cause serious accidents.

Faulty Motorcycle Parts:

This could include brakes, tyres, or mechanical failures leading to an accident.

Dooring Incidents:

When a parked vehicle opens its door into the path of an oncoming motorcyclist.

Pillion Passengers Injuries:

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your questions, answered.

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.

In 2023, 315 motorcyclists were killed in the UK, 5,481 were seriously injured and 11,182 were slightly injured. While motorcycle accidents still happen, the accident rate has significantly decreased over the last 20 years.
