What are motorcycle accident claims?
A motorcycle accident claim is a legal process that allows you to seek compensation if you’ve been injured or suffered financial loss in a motorcycle accident that was not your fault. Claims can cover personal injuries, damage to your bike and equipment, loss of earnings, and the cost of medical treatment and rehabilitation. To make a motorcycle accident claim, the accident must have been caused by another party’s negligence and must have occurred within the last three years
How we help with motorbike accidents claims
Our motorcycle accident solicitors based in Manchester, Sale and Chester handle the full range of motorbike accident injury claims, making sure every loss you’ve suffered is properly accounted for.
Injury compensation
We help you claim for physical injuries: from broken bones and road rash to more serious injuries requiring long-term care. We also make sure any psychological trauma resulting from the accident is fully recognised in your claim.
Bike and equipment damage
We recover the cost of repairing or replacing your motorcycle, as well as damaged kit such as helmets and leathers. If your bike has been written off, we’ll pursue its full market value.
Financial losses
Lost earnings, private medical treatment, surgery costs, and insurance excesses can all be recovered as part of your motorbike accident claim. We look at the complete financial picture.
Rehabilitation support
Where needed, we work alongside a specialist rehabilitation team to support your recovery and help you return to work as quickly as possible. This forms part of your overall claim, not a separate process.
If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle accident in Manchester, Sale, Chester, or anywhere across the North West, get in touch to find out what you may be entitled to.
Motorcycle accident claims process
- Start with a conversation
Call or contact us at any of our offices in Manchester, Sale or Chester. We’ll listen to what happened, ask some straightforward questions, and give you an honest view of whether you have a claim worth pursuing.
- We build the evidence
This is where experience counts. Motorcycle accident injury claims often involve more complex injuries than standard road traffic cases, so we take care to build a thorough picture: medical evidence, police reports, witness accounts, and a full assessment of your financial losses including your bike, equipment, and earnings.
- Your claim is submitted
We put your case to the defendant or their insurer formally, setting out exactly what you’re owed and why. They have up to three months to respond.
- We negotiate on your behalf
We handle all dealings with the other side. The vast majority of motorbike accident claims are resolved at this stage, and we’ll push for a settlement that reflects the full extent of what you’ve been through.
- Court (if necessary)
If the other side won’t settle fairly, we’re prepared to go to court. It’s not common, but when it’s necessary, you’ll have an experienced team behind you every step of the way.
