For this reason, it&#8217;s important to know to do things differently after a motorbike accident.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to know what to look out for.<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, we say you should avoid any solicitors you\u2019re referred to through your insurers. They used to pay huge referral fees to insurers before the government banned them in 2013. Now, some have alternative business structures to allow for claim referrals. We don\u2019t think any money should be moved away from your claim budget at all. We say you should always go direct to a law firm. That\u2019s why we don\u2019t deal in referrals!<\/p>\n<p>But ultimately, your also not selecting your lawyer. How do you know they specialise in biker compensation; let alone even personal injury claims?<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, make sure your lawyer specialises in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorbikeinjurylawyers.co.uk\/serious-injury-team\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>serious injury claims<\/strong><\/a> as well. You should always have a highly experienced team at the helm of your case; always!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What you need to know about biker compensation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Biker compensation isn\u2019t always the same as any other road accident. When injuries are commonly more serious, insurers tend to defend the claims more. There are also often allegations of speeding and dangerous riding as well.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t be surprised if the insurers try and defend or partially defend the claim to reduce what they owe you. Your lawyers \u2013 if they\u2019re specialist lawyers \u2013 ought to be fighting tooth and nail for the best compensation package you can obtain. They should always be fighting in your corner.<\/p>\n<p>Many motorbike accident claims also don\u2019t go through the standard procedure many other road cases do. Even where this can lengthen the timeframe for a case, your lawyers ought to be always updating you and you should always know what\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n<p>Need more advice about biker compensation?
