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 able to claim motorbike injury compensation. Our personal injury team will support you and work hard to get you the compensation you’re entitled to.
If you’ve been injured in a motorbike accident that wasn’t your fault, you may be able to claim. Our team can look at your case for free and explain your options.
Common causes of motorcycle accidents where someone else may be at fault 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.
Even if you’re not sure who was at fault, we can look at your case and explain your options.
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 receive extra compensation for 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 straightforward. 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, make sure the collision is reported to the police and ask for a reference number.
Our team will assess your case and guide you through the process on a no-win, no-fee basis.

You could still have a claim. If you were partly to blame, your compensation may be reduced to reflect your share. For example, if you were found 25% to blame, you’d receive 75% of the full amount. Speak to our team and we’ll explain where you stand.
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.
Yes. If you were injured as a pillion passenger, you can usually claim. This could be against another road user, or against the rider you were travelling with if they were at fault. A claim against the rider is made against their insurance, not them personally. If you weren’t wearing a helmet, your compensation may be reduced.
In 2025, 386 motorcyclists were killed on roads in Great Britain, 5,710 were seriously injured and 9,351 were slightly injured, according to the Department for Transport. Motorcyclist deaths have fallen by about a third since 2004, but they rose by 14% between 2024 and 2025.
We handle a wide range of transport accident claims, including car driver accident claims, bus and coach accident claims, motorcycle accident claims, cycling accident claims, Uber passenger accident claims, pedestrian accident claims, road traffic passenger accident claims, and hit and run claims.
Useful evidence includes photos of the scene, witness contact details, any accident or police report, CCTV or dashcam footage, and your medical records. These help show what happened, who was at fault and how badly you were hurt. If you don’t have everything, don’t worry. We’ll help you gather what you need.
That depends on how serious your injury is and the impact it’s had on your life. We can’t give you a figure straight away, and that’s not us being cagey. We need to arrange a medical examination first, and the report tells us the full extent of your injuries. Once we have it, we can give you a proper picture. In the meantime, our compensation calculator can give you a rough guide.
You may still be able to claim. If the driver was uninsured, or can’t be traced after a hit-and-run, a claim can often be made through the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB). The MIB is the body that pays compensation in these cases. Find out more about hit-and-run claims.
A no-win, no-fee agreement, also called a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA), means you don’t pay anything upfront. If your claim isn’t successful, you won’t pay our legal fees. If we win, our fees are taken from your compensation, and we’ll explain exactly how much before you sign anything. We’ll also arrange After the Event (ATE) insurance, which covers certain costs if your claim doesn’t succeed. This protection depends on you being honest throughout your claim.
In most cases, you have three years to start your claim. This runs from the date of your accident, or from when you first knew your injury was caused by it. If the injured person was under 18, they have until their 21st birthday. Acting quickly helps protect evidence.
Most personal injury claims take between 12 and 18 months. This is the usual length of time for a personal injury claim. Some settle sooner, especially if the other side admits fault quickly, and more complex cases can take longer. We’ll work through your claim as quickly as we can, with care, and keep you updated along the way
Your claim will be handled by our personal injury team. The team is made up mainly of solicitors and trainee solicitors, supported by paralegals and legal secretaries.
Your hospital records show the treatment you had. An independent medical report looks at how your injury affects you now and in the future. That’s what your compensation is based on, so it’s a key part of your claim.
We’ll send you a secure link to sign your documents online. If you have any trouble, just call us and we’ll talk you through it.
