As a motorcyclist, you run a greater risk of suffering injuries. You are more exposed than other road users, yet can still travel at high speed.

Many of the motorcycle accident claims we deal with involve serious or fatal injuries. These include brain injuries, spinal injuries and amputations. These accidents change many lives, as family and friends are affected too.

Even where the injuries are more low level, some period of rehabilitation may be needed. You may be unable to work during this time or rely on others for care and assistance. All of this can be costly.

At Serious Accident Solicitors Ltd, we work hard for you. We want to fight your corner and get you the maximum amount of compensation, as quickly as possible. Because we specialise in serious accidents, we work to make sure that you get the right rehabilitation treatment that you need. This can be a huge help in your recovery process.

Your injuries may mean that you require ongoing care and assistance. Or, you may benefit from adaptations to your home. Aids and equipment may make your life easier. All this can be expensive, but these costs can be included in your claim.

A motorcycle accident action is about more than suing those at fault. It is also about protecting you and your family for the future and making sure that your needs are met, both now and in the years to come.

ou can make a motorcycle claim if someone else is to blame for your accident. This might happen if –

• A driver turns or changes lanes without checking their blind spot
• A driver pulls out in front of you at a junction
• Someone in a stationary vehicle opens their door as you pass
• Filtering accidents
• Poor road surface conditions, such as diesel spills, debris, poorly placed manhole covers on bends and potholes can all cause hazards. A claim can sometimes be made to the Motor Insurers Bureau for this type of accident.

You may have been driving the motorcycle, or riding as a pillion passenger. Either way, if you are injured through no fault of your own, you could be able to make a personal injury claim.

Tragically, motorcycle accidents have a high fatality rate. If your loved one has died in a motorcycle accident, we are truly sorry. You might not want to take legal action against the driver responsible but if you do, we can help you. We understand that this will be a difficult process for you. We promise to handle the case sensitively, supporting you the whole time.
