In some cases, especially those handled by our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorbikeinjurylawyers.co.uk\/serious-injury-team\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Serious Injury Claims Team<\/strong><\/a>, the losses part of a claim can be higher than the injury part.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s some advice about the sorts of things that you may be eligible to recover and how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorbikeinjurylawyers.co.uk\/start-your-claim\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>we may be able to represent you for a legal case<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>How we value a claim<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Before we go into more detail about how motorcycle losses and expenses claims work, it\u2019s important to start with how we value a personal injury compensation claim.<\/p>\n<p>Understanding this is the foundation to then understand how a losses claim can work.<\/p>\n<p>When you make a claim for personal injury compensation, it\u2019s normally split into two parts. These are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>General Damages; and<\/li>\n<li>Special Damages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>General Damages is for any pain, suffering and loss of amenity caused. Generally speaking, the more you suffer, the more this part of a legal case can be worth. We value this based on medical evidence where an independent expert can produce a report that outlines how you have suffered and how this has impacted you.<\/p>\n<p>The Special Damages part is for losses and expenses. When you make a claim, you\u2019re entitled to be \u201cput back\u201d in the financial position you were in prior to the accident and the injuries occurring. As such, if you lose money or have to pay things out, you should be entitled to recover this money.<\/p>\n<p>After all, it\u2019s not your fault you have had to pay this out or lose this money. It\u2019s only right that you can claim it back.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Motorcycle losses and expenses claims explained<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>When it comes to the sorts of motorcycle losses and expenses claims that can be made, it often comes down to a question of reasonableness.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve lost earnings because you were off work for three months due to the injury, it\u2019s reasonable that you should be entitled to claim those lost earnings back. If private treatment will help you recover quicker, it stands to reason that you should be allowed to have it paid for. If you must spend hundreds of pounds on taxi journeys or petrol and hospital car parks, and pay for things like medication, it\u2019s reasonable to be allowed to recover these costs back.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s pretty much how motorcycle losses and expenses claims work. We form a Schedule of Special Damages that outlines the losses and expenses, and how much each item is worth. With supporting evidence in the way of wage slips, receipts and the expert\u2019s report justifying such costs, you have clear evidence to be able to claim such losses and expenses back.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Talk to our team about claims today<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you have been the victim of a motorbike accident that wasn\u2019t your fault, you could be entitled to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorbikeinjurylawyers.co.uk\/start-your-claim\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>make a claim for compensation<\/strong> <\/a>with us on a No Win, No Fee basis.<\/p>\n<p>For free, no-obligation advice about your options for justice, please call the helpline on 0800 634 75 75 or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorbikeinjurylawyers.co.uk\/start-your-claim\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>see the other ways you can get in touch here<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Motorcycle losses and expenses claims can be an important part of a motorbike accident compensation case.
