Welcome To The
Motorbike Injury Lawyers Blog

Nowadays, due to changes in the law over the last few years, most bikers who make a motorbike personal injury claim will find that they must pay at least 25% from their damages award to settle fees for the lawyer.

This is because the government stopped claimants recovering all their fees from the opponent back in 2013, and this applies for most types of claims.

But, we can still offer 100% compensation arrangements for bikers injured in road accidents. Read on for more information about this.

Despite some serious changes in the way lawyers’ agreements are funded, from changes to systems in 2010 to more costlier arrangements having to be introduced due to government changes in 2013, we can still offer No Win, No Fee arrangements for motorcycle personal injury cases.

As a motorcyclist, it’s hard enough having to dodge accidents, however when one does happen, you may find that, as a biker, the other driver alleges you were speeding.

I mean, speeding and bikes is supposed to be synonymous, right?

Whether that’s the case or not, you can be sure that insurers acting for the driver at fault for the accident will be trying to split liability by saying you were partially to blame because of speeding. If this happens, what can you do?

Motorcycle accident compensation claims often involve serious injuries, given the rider has far less protection on a bike than they do in a car.

There are loads of injury law firms out there, but when it comes to a serious injury claim, the victim absolutely needs the best.

Is the reason that a lot of drivers get annoyed with motorcyclists weaving in and out of traffic down to the fact that they’re getting ahead of the arduous queues?

Perhaps…

As a driver, when you’re facing yet another jam in the rush hour traffic, it can be really infuriating to have to sit their as time almost comes to a standstill, and then you see a biker moving freely down the line as they weave between the traffic.

At the end of the day, though, they’re doing nothing wrong.

There are those who take it really steady at traffic lights, and then there are the “amber gamblers” who may tear through as the lights flick between red and green… And then there’s the “chancers” who take “amber gambling” to a whole new level by jumping red lights.

One quick glance may be enough for a driver to know that there are no other cars coming through on the lights, and so they jump them. Irrespective of the fact this is illegal, the other issue is that bikers – as always – can be harder to spot, and can be quicker on the roads.

It’s rare, but it can happen.

For drivers, running over a small object that has fallen off the back of a van, or perhaps going over a wheel trim that’s flung off another vehicle, may not be bad at all.

However, for a biker, even small objects can be a massive danger.

Something as small as a wheel trim, a spare wheel, small slat of wood or even a bit of cardboard can cause a biker to be injured in an accident. Our two-wheeled treasures may not be able to maintain stability from riding over much on the road, so if you’ve been injured as a rider because of a falling object, you have rights.

Motorways are one of the more dangerous places for motorbike riders. The speeds at which vehicles travel – together with the interchangeable lanes – are often the biggest dangers leading to a motorway accident.

With a rider wearing high-visibility clothing and with their lights on riding safely at the speed limit, there’s no reason as to why a driver should cause a collision with a biker. Yet it still happens, and it’s more often than not down to a driver not properly checking mirrors or blind-spots for bikers when changing lanes.

We often mention in our articles about the need for bikers to be more aware of the dangers on the road and actively anticipate errors by other drivers for your own benefit. Listening to the radio the other day, a reminder that bikers must always “ride defensively” was broadcast across the digital airwaves when a listener sent a message to the show on this very topic. The understandably annoyed biker was essentially saying that they wear high-vis gear all year round – not just at night and in winter – because drivers still fail to see motorcyclists on the road.

It was this message to the show’s hosts that triggered the reminder that it’s always wise to ride defensively.

You’d think that with the advancements in technology – like Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) – uninsured drivers would be a thing of the past.

They’re still out there though!

So, if you’re a motorcyclist and you’re hit by an uninsured driver, or you’re in an accident that was not your fault and was caused by an uninsured driver, what can you do? Can you still make a claim for motorbike accident compensation? If so, how?
