Motorcyclists are some of the most vulnerable road users. When accidents happen, the injuries can be severe and life-changing. That’s why motorcycle accident claims are so important: they give riders the chance to recover financial losses, access medical treatment, and secure the support needed for their recovery.

How We Help With Motorcycle Accident Claims
When you instruct Personal Injury Solicitors Direct, our solicitors manage every stage of your claim:
- Investigating liability: We gather CCTV, dashcam footage, police reports, and witness statements.
- Documenting injuries: We arrange medical assessments to ensure the full impact of your injuries is properly recorded.
- Negotiating compensation: We deal with insurers directly, fighting for a settlement that reflects your pain, suffering, and financial losses.
- Keeping you informed: We provide clear updates throughout, never confusing you with legal jargon.
Every motorcycle accident claim we take on is run on a No Win No Fee basis. That means you won’t pay us anything unless your claim is successful.
Common Motorcycle Accidents Leading to Claims
Motorcycle accident claims often arise from driver negligence or poor road conditions. Our solicitors regularly deal with cases involving:
- Drivers failing to observe motorcyclists at junctions or roundabouts.
- Car doors opening unexpectedly into a rider’s path.
- Rear-end collisions in slow or stopped traffic.
- Unsafe overtaking on dual carriageways or city roads.
- Poorly maintained road surfaces or unexpected debris causing loss of control.
If you’ve been injured in any of these scenarios, our solicitors can guide you through the process of making a motorcycle accident claim.
Who Can Make a Motorcycle Injury Claim?
To be eligible for compensation, three things must usually be shown:
- Another party owed you a duty of care under road traffic law.
- That duty was breached through negligence, recklessness, or unsafe road conditions.
- The breach directly caused your injuries, proven through medical evidence and accident records.
Our solicitors can quickly confirm whether you meet the criteria during a free consultation.
Time Limits for Motorcycle Accident Claims
In most cases, you have three years from the date of the accident to begin a motorcycle accident claim. If you only later discover your injury was caused by the accident, the three years run from that point of knowledge.
For children, parents or guardians can claim on their behalf until they turn 18, after which the three-year limit applies. For those lacking mental capacity, time limits are paused.
If you’re unsure about your deadline, our solicitors can clarify your options.
Claims Against Uninsured or Untraceable Drivers
If you’ve been hit by an uninsured or untraceable driver, our solicitors can help you make a claim through the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB). We gather the evidence needed, like police reports, witness statements, and medical records, and manage all communications with the MIB to reduce delays and secure compensation.
Steps to Take After a Motorcycle Accident
Acting quickly after an accident can make a big difference to your claim. We recommend:
- Reporting the accident to the police and requesting a reference number.
- Exchanging details with all road users involved, and collecting witness information.
- Gathering evidence such as photos of the scene, vehicle damage, road conditions, and your injuries.
- Seeking medical attention so that your injuries are documented by professionals.
- Keeping receipts and records of travel, medication, and care costs.
If you’re unsure what to do, our solicitors can guide you step by step.
What Compensation Covers in Motorcycle Accident Claims
Compensation from a motorcycle accident claim can cover both financial and personal losses, such as:
- Medical expenses — hospital treatment, surgery, physiotherapy, or counselling.
- Lost earnings — wages missed during recovery and future earning potential.
- Property damage — repairs or replacement of your motorbike, helmet, and gear.
- Care and assistance — help at home provided by family or professionals.
- Pain, suffering and loss of amenity — recognising both physical and psychological harm.
- Travel expenses — costs for attending hospital or rehabilitation appointments.
Our solicitors will assess the full impact of your accident to make sure every loss is included in your claim.
How No Win No Fee Motorcycle Accident Claims Work
We believe everyone should have access to justice, regardless of their financial situation. That’s why all motorcycle accident claims we take on are run on a No Win No Fee basis. This means:
- You pay nothing to start your claim.
- You don’t pay us anything if your claim is unsuccessful.
- If your claim succeeds, our agreed success fee is deducted from your compensation.
This removes the financial risk and ensures our solicitors are fully committed to securing the best possible outcome for you.
