Motorcycle accident compensation claims solicitors
If you’ve been injured in a motorbike accident that wasn’t your fault, you may be able to claim compensation. Contact our expert motorcycle injury solicitors and get the compensation you deserve.
Motorcycles are an increasingly common sight on the UK’s roads, with over 1.4 million people riding regularly and 3 million having full motorcycle licences. They make up about 3% of road transport in some areas, mainly because they’re a quick way to get around, especially for commuting. In fact, nearly two-thirds of all motorcycle use is for getting to work or running errands, and the number of people choosing to ride has gone up by 4.1% recently.
But with more motorbikes and riders on the road, the risk of accidents increases. Motorcycle drivers are more exposed and can be more vulnerable in a crash than car drivers. That’s why knowing about motorcycle accident claims is so important. If you’re ever in an accident, it’s crucial to understand how you can receive help and compensation for your injuries or losses.
The most important things to remember when claiming for a motorbike accident:
- You may be able to claim compensation if you’ve been involved in a motorcycle accident and the negligence of a third party caused your injuries
- To receive compensation for your injuries, you will need to prove that the cause of the accident was either partly or wholly someone else’s fault
- In most cases, you have up to three years from the accident date or three years from the date a medical professional diagnosed your injuries
- The amount of compensation you can claim for injuries caused by a motorcycle accident will depend on how severe your injuries are and the impact they may have on your life

Are motorcycle accidents common?
Riding a motorcycle is inherently risky, and recent UK government statistics on reported road casualties make for stark reading. In 2022, 350 motorcyclists were tragically killed on Great Britain’s roads, with an additional 5,618 reported as seriously injured and 10,975 suffering slight injuries. Notably, after years of decline from 2014 to 2020, motorcyclist casualties increased between 2020 and 2022.
This uptick coincides with a 12% increase in motorcyclist traffic from 2021 to 2022, alongside a 13% rise in motorcyclist fatalities. Alarmingly, nearly 39% of motorcycle fatalities from 2018 to 2022 involved collisions with cars, highlighting the significant risks motorcycle drivers face from other road users.
Motorcycle accidents can also bring financial and emotional strain along with physical injury. A successful claim for personal injury compensation can provide much-needed support for recovery and cover costs like medical expenses, lost income, treatment and rehabilitation.
At Express Solicitors, we specialise in motorcycle accident claims, offering expert legal advice to ensure victims receive the compensation they deserve.
What are the most common factors that contribute to serious and fatal motorcycle collisions?
Understanding the factors that can lead to serious and fatal motorbike accidents is crucial for both riders and other road users. Government statistics from Great Britain between 2018 and 2022 have highlighted several key contributors to these accidents:
Failure to look properly: The most common factor, involving 10,638 cases where either motorcyclists or other vehicle drivers didn’t observe their surroundings adequately. This issue was more common among non-motorcyclists.
Misjudging other road users’ path or speed: This contributed to 6,033 incidents, indicating a significant challenge in anticipating the movements of other road users, with motorcyclists and non-motorcyclists nearly equally at fault.
Carelessness or recklessness: Accounting for 4,486 collisions, this factor shows that rushing or not paying attention on the road can have dire consequences.
Exceeding speed limit: Speeding was a factor in 2,077 accidents, predominantly by motorcyclists, highlighting the danger of not complying with speed limits.
Poor turn or manoeuvre: This was involved in 4,116 incidents, showing the need to perform turns and manoeuvres with maximum care.
Loss of control: Motorcyclists were primarily affected by this, with 1,452 incidents leading to serious or fatal outcomes.
Lack of experience: Inexperienced or learner drivers and riders contributed to 1,333 accidents between 2018 and 2022.
Travelling too fast for conditions: Not adjusting speed to match road and weather conditions was a factor in 1,179 accidents, again with motorcyclists more often at fault.
Following too closely: Tailgating contributed to 934 collisions. Such cases are entirely preventable when enough distance is maintained with the vehicle ahead.
Aggressive driving: This led to 1,019 incidents, demonstrating that aggression on the road can dramatically increase the risk of serious accidents.
These statistics serve as a reminder of the importance of vigilance, patience, and respect for all road users. By being aware of these common factors, motorcyclists and other drivers can take steps to reduce the risk of accidents, ensuring a safer environment for everyone on the road.
What can I do as a motorcyclist to avoid future accidents?
Being a motorcyclist requires constant vigilance and precautionary measures. Accidents commonly happen at junctions, in poor weather conditions, or while performing manoeuvres, so here are several strategies you can use to stay safe on the road:
- Enhance your awareness: Keep a keen eye on the behaviour of vehicles around you, predicting potential moves.
- Increase your visibility: Opt for brightly coloured clothing or keep your headlights on low beam to make sure you stand out to other road users.
- Overtake with caution: Make sure the road ahead is clearly visible, particularly near curves or intersections, before deciding to overtake.
- Adapt to weather conditions: Poor weather demands cautious driving. Adapt your speed to suit rain, snow, or icy conditions and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles.
- Invest in quality riding gear: Wearing protective motorcycle clothing can dramatically lessen the severity of injuries should an accident occur.
As a motorcyclist, adhering to these safety measures can significantly contribute to your wellbeing on the road, making every journey safer.
How long do I have to make a motorcycle accident claim?
Unfortunately, some collisions can’t be avoided even when motorcyclists take every safety precaution. In most cases, you have up to three years from the accident date or three years from the date a medical professional diagnosed your injuries.
The three-year time limit does not apply if you are claiming for someone with limited mental capacity, including if the injuries suffered in the accident prevent them from claiming within three years.
You can claim on behalf of a child up until the date of their 21st birthday.
We recommend that you begin your claim as soon after your motorcycle accident as possible, as it gives us the best chance of collecting all the evidence we need to mount the strongest case on your behalf. Speak with our experienced no win no fee solicitors about your motorcycle accident today.
Can I make a motorcycle accident claim on behalf of someone else?
Yes, you can. Sometimes motorcycle accidents can lead to serious injuries such as head, brain, and spinal injuries that may mean the injured party is unable to claim for themselves.
In such instances, you will be able to claim on their behalf as a “litigation friend” if you are a trusted family member.
You may also be able to claim in the tragic event that a loved one has died from a motorcycle accident. In these cases, you may be able to claim bereavement damages, funeral expenses, and a dependency award for those left behind.
How much compensation can I claim if I’ve been involved in a motorbike accident?
The amount of compensation you can claim for injuries caused by a motorcycle accident will depend on how severe your injuries are and the impact they may have on your life.
Compensation settlements for injuries sustained following a motorbike accident can range from £1,500 for a minor facial injury to £350,000 for a severe head injury.

Compensation could be claimed for expenses that may include, but would not be limited to;
- The damage, repair, or replacement of your motorcycle
- The replacement of any motorcycle equipment, such as your helmet and clothes damaged in your accident
- Current and future earnings, including any loss of income or pension
- Any medical costs associated with your rehabilitation or ongoing rehabilitation treatment, including physiotherapy or counselling
- Any adaptations needed for your home

- Any out-of-pocket expenses you or anyone who has cared for you may have incurred.
Edward’s experience with Express Solicitors
What evidence do I need to make a motorbike accident claim?
To be successful in your claim, we must show that the accident was caused by someone else being at fault. This is done by compiling clear and compelling evidence.
The type of evidence that would be most useful when claiming for a motorbike accident may include the following:
- The date and time, and location of the accident
- Any details you can remember about the accident and who you think is to blame
- Contact details, including registration number and insurance details of any other vehicles involved in the accident (where applicable)
- Police reports of the accident
- Any footage you may have of the accident from a helmet or body cam, CCTV, or dash cam
- Any photographs or video you may have taken at the scene of the accident
- Contact information for any eyewitnesses to the accident who may be able to provide a statement on your behalf
- Details of the medical treatment you received either at the scene or at a hospital or GP
Don’t worry if you don’t have all of this information. Our specialist road accident claims solicitors will help compile evidence on your behalf.
Can I claim for a motorcycle accident caused by a hit-and-run driver?
Yes, you can still make a claim if you were injured in a hit-and-run road accident on a motorcycle. However, rather than make a claim against a driver’s insurance company, hit-and-run claims can be made with the Motor Insurance Bureau, which specialises in claiming for road accidents when the party at fault can not be identified or is untraceable.
Can I claim for a motorcycle accident caused by an uninsured driver?
Yes, you can still claim if you were injured on your motorbike after being hit by an uninsured driver. Our personal injury solicitors will make your claim with the Motor Insurers’ Bureau, a not-for-profit organisation created to help victims of road accidents where the party at fault is uninsured.
Can I claim for a motorcycle accident caused by poor road surfaces?
Yes, you can claim against whoever is responsible for the road surface if your motorcycle accident was caused by a poorly maintained, damaged or unsafe road.
Whether it’s National Highways for motorways or A roads, or local authorities for all other roads, the organisation has a duty of care to all road users to keep them safe.
Local authorities are legally required to conduct regular inspections and to take action if they identify anything that is or is likely to become, a danger to road users. Additionally, they must display warning signs to inform road users of any potential hazards caused by unsafe road surfaces.

We have recovered an additional £21.2m more in compensation for clients who switched to us from their previous firm.

Can I claim for a motorcycle accident caused by faulty or defective equipment?
Yes, you may be able to claim compensation for your motorcycle accident if your injuries were caused by defective equipment, such as a faulty crash helmet or a defect on your bike that led to your accident.
Can I claim if the motorcycle accident was partly my fault?
Yes, you may be able to claim compensation for your motorbike accident, even if it was partly your fault.
As with other types of personal injury claim, the responsibility for the accident may be shared. When we assess your claim, we’ll consider whether the accident was entirely your fault, entirely another road user’s fault, or a shared fault between you both. In claims where the fault is with more than one party, a split liability agreement will be set up.
What is a split liability motorbike accident claim?
These claims are when two or more road users agree to share the blame for the accident. The amount of compensation you receive relates to the percentage of the liability split. For example, if you agree you are both equally at fault, you’ll be entitled to receive 50% of the compensation amount.
We understand the financial impact of an accident.
In 99% of cases, we recovered more compensation than the insurer’s first offer. We’ll provide financial security with our interim payments wherever possible, meaning you don’t need to rush into an offer that is lower than you’re legally entitled to.
What are the most common types of motorcycle accident claims?
Being on two wheels makes motorcyclists more vulnerable to accidents than most other road users. Not only are they at more significant risk of injuries caused by other road users, but they are also more susceptible to accidents if the road surface is dangerous.
With over 20 years of experience handling motorcycle accident claims, the most common type of accidents we see include:
- Accidents caused by drivers not spotting bike riders, especially at junctions and roundabouts
- Accidents caused by changing lanes while not looking to see if the lane is clear
- Accidents caused by overtaking or turning into a rider’s path
- Accidents caused by a rider having to take evasive action to avoid hitting a pedestrian or object on the road
- Accidents from poorly maintained roads, including loose gravel spills, fluid spills, and potholes, especially on corners and bends in the road when the rider is leaning
- Accidents from faulty traffic lights, lighting or defective signage
Such accidents are split into two categories – Lowside and highside.
Lowside accidents are caused when the front or rear wheel loses grip and slides out, usually due to too much breaking or acceleration through or out of a corner. At their least, riders can fall off the bike and suffer from severe cuts, bruises, and broken bones. At their worst, lowside accidents can lead to a rider sliding into oncoming traffic.
Highside accidents occur when the rear wheel loses lateral grip and then regains it violently or if the back wheel locks up. It is most common when the rider over-corrects a rear-wheel slide. As a result, the bike suddenly grips and sends the rider the other way.
A highside crash is extremely dangerous because the rider is usually flung over the handlebars, often in the bike’s path of travel. Severe injuries are common in such cases as the rider can collide with vehicles, the road surface and their own bike.
What our clients say
Can I make a no win no fee motorbike accident claim?
Yes, you can. Our motorbike injury compensation claims legal services are provided on a no win no fee basis.
A no win no fee agreement protects the person claiming if the claim is unsuccessful from any costs during the compensation claim process, meaning you can claim without paying a penny.
No win no fee agreements are also known as Conditional Fee Agreements (CFA). This agreement means that there is only a fee on the condition that you win your claim. It means you are safe to pursue a compensation claim knowing that you have no financial risk if it’s unsuccessful, unless you breach the terms of the agreement.
When your claim is successful, the other side pays the majority of the legal costs, and the law firm takes a pre-agreed fixed percentage of the compensation. This means you’d never be out of pocket when claiming.
In addition, we take out an insurance policy on your behalf, which protects you in the rare event the claim isn’t successful. This is known as an After The Event (ATE) insurance policy, which means you have no upfront costs and nothing to pay if you lose the case.
We provide unlimited legal advice at the outset of all claims, so don’t hesitate to contact us. We can assess your case and explain the no win no fee claims process on our first call.
