Motorbike Accident Claims
Clear advice from local personal injury solicitors if you have been injured in a motorbike accident.
Motorbike accident claims can involve serious injuries, disputed liability, damage to the motorbike, damaged riding kit and loss of earnings.
If you have been injured in a motorbike accident, HW Solicitors can help you understand whether you may have a claim, what evidence may be needed, and what steps may be involved.
Speak directly to a local solicitor
Your enquiry will be considered by a qualified solicitor, not a call centre or claims management company.
We are based at 35A Lion Chambers, John William Street, Huddersfield, HD1 1ES, and offer a free initial discussion before you decide whether to proceed.
What types of motorbike accident can we help with?
Motorbike accident claims can involve collisions with cars, vans, lorries, buses, taxis, cyclists, pedestrians or other road users.
They may also involve junction accidents, roundabout accidents, filtering accidents, vehicles emerging from side roads, drivers changing lanes, poor road surfaces, potholes, diesel spills, or accidents caused by another person’s negligence.
We can discuss what happened, who may have been at fault, what evidence may be available, and whether a claim may be possible.
Serious injuries after motorbike accidents
Motorbike accidents can cause serious injuries, including fractures, head injuries, spinal injuries, shoulder injuries, knee injuries, scarring, psychological symptoms, long-term pain or injuries that affect work and daily life.
In more serious cases, medical evidence, treatment records, wage loss evidence and details of care or assistance may all be important.
Motorbike, helmet and riding kit damage
A motorbike accident claim is not only about the injury. We can also discuss damage to your motorbike, helmet, clothing, boots, gloves, protective equipment, luggage, accessories and other damaged property.
Insurers may not always understand the value of specialist riding kit, upgraded parts or accessories. Repair estimates, receipts, photographs and evidence of ownership can all be useful.
What evidence may help?
Useful evidence can include photographs of the vehicles, photographs of the accident scene, dashcam or helmet camera footage, police details, insurance details, witness details, medical records, repair estimates, receipts and evidence of any time off work or lost earnings.
You do not need to have everything before contacting us. We can explain what may be useful and what can be requested later.
What if liability is disputed?
Sometimes the other driver or insurer denies fault. That does not always mean the claim is over, but it may mean that further evidence is needed.
We can consider the circumstances of the accident, the available evidence, the road layout, witness evidence, photographs, dashcam footage and any police involvement.
Do I need to decide straight away?
No. A free initial discussion can help you understand your options before deciding whether to make a claim.
We will explain whether we may be able to help, what evidence may be needed, how the claim process works, and what the likely next steps would be.
Clear fees from the outset
If we can act for you under a no win, no fee agreement, our standard success fee is 25% inclusive of VAT.
We explain our fees clearly before you decide whether to proceed. We do not add hidden extras or require you to take out ATE insurance as part of our standard personal injury service.
