Motorcycle Accident Claim

BEEN INVOLVED IN A MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT?

Motorcyclists know there is a risk of accident and injury every time they’re out on the road.
The number of motorcyclists injured or killed on Britain’s roads has fallen over time, but they are still 38 times more likely to be killed in a road traffic accident than car passengers. Nearly every rider has, or will have, an accident or near-miss whilst on their bike.
There are lots of types of motorbike accidents. Injuries range from minor cuts and scrapes to serious or long-term injuries.

TYPES OF MOTORBIKE ACCIDENTS

Common motorbike accidents include:

• Accidents at a junction – if a driver or another road user fails to see a motorcyclist at a junction
• Failing to navigate the road – if the road surface is slippery, wet or icy; this type of accident is not always the rider’s fault
• Accidents whilst stationary – motorcyclists can be rear-ended by another vehicle whilst stopped at lights
• Being hit by a car door – motorcyclists can be hit by car doors being opened

IF YOU’VE HAD A MOTORBIKE ACCIDENT

If you’ve been injured in a motorbike accident you will know how traumatic it can be. You might need time off work, or if you have a more serious injury you may not be able to work for a long time. Loss of earnings can put a strain on your finances and add to your worries.
If the accident happened in the last three years and it wasn’t your fault, you might be entitled to compensation which can help get you back on your feet and tide you over financially. It can be used to cover the costs of long-term treatment you might have, like physiotherapy. Having this safety net can put your mind at ease so you can focus on getting better.

Porter Wood Law Solicitors will guide you through the claims process and recover the maximum compensation for your accident.

WHO AM I CLAIMING COMPENSATION FROM?
