Our team works closely with medical professionals and rehabilitation specialists to ensure you have access to the best possible care and support while your claim is ongoing.
If you have been in a motorbike accident within the last three years, and it wasn’t your fault, then you could be eligible to make a claim.
You will need to prove that the fault of the accident lay with a third party to at least some extent. If you can prove this, you will likely receive costs covering your rehabilitation, medical treatments and financial losses.
Each case varies with different circumstances, but generally, you could make a claim against a different vehicle, pedestrian or authority if it was caused by road failures.
You could also make a claim if the driver was uninsured or untraceable. If you have a query about your specific case, get in touch and we would be more than happy to help.
When a Motorbike Accident Personal Injury Claim, the final claim settlement can take into account far more than compensation for the physical pain and suffering caused. Together, we can help you prove you have suffered physically, mentally, or economically because of an accident that was caused by another road user.
You can also secure compensation for losses such as:
This is far from an exhaustive list of the expenses and losses you could make a claim for. Our specialist solicitors can direct you to the course of action that best fits your case. Our priority is to get the compensation you deserve for your accident.
As with any Road Accident Claim for an accident, the more detailed the information you provide your solicitor is, the easier it will be for them to prove liability and a proper compensation amount.
The action you take on the scene of the accident is vital, but there are things you can do to make sure your evidence is as clear and damning as possible.
Keeping a detailed record of losses, injuries, and damages is going to be fundamental to support your claim’s validity. Each piece of evidence could be instrumental to proving it was another driver’s fault, and getting the right amount of compensation to cover your damages.
With the introduction of the Official Injury Claim (OIC) portal in 2021, the system to make low value road traffic injury claims has been effectively revolutionised. The new law outlines specific fixed tariffs, with a focus on soft tissue injuries such as whiplash.
Small claims made through the OIC must have a general damages value below £5,000. However, vulnerable road users are subject to different rules when it comes to the monetary value they can claim through the OIC.
As motorcyclists are considered vulnerable road users, they can only submit a claim through the OIC if it’s valued below £1,000 in general damages.
If your claim is valued at more than £1,000, you should start the process of claiming compensation independently, with a solicitor of your own choice. This will allow you to receive the maximum amount of compensation.
PSR Solicitors is an established, specialist road traffic accident law firm. It is our mission to support vulnerable road users through the process of claiming compensation for their accidents, which can often be much more serious than others’. We can value your claim and inform you of your choices to reach the best possible outcome.
Right from the very first contact with PSR Solicitors I knew I was in safe hands.
I contacted PSR after hearing about their efficiency and expert knowledge. They charge a relatively small fee and made the process completely stress free.
I have dealt with many firms over the years, and this firm has been on another level compared to others. The customer service, knowledge and speedy completion of the sale was much appreciated.
Quality and professional service. My claim was dealt with very quickly and efficiently, would highly recommend.
They were very helpful, better value, and dealt with my claim within 7 months. After a 4 and a half years issue with my previous solicitors.
For most claims, you have three years from the date of the accident or three years from the date that the injuries become known, as noted in Section 11 of the Limitation Act 1980. However, there are certain exceptions to this which includes:
If the person injured in the accident involved a child. A parent or guardian can make a claim up until their 18th birthday, and the claimant will have a further 3 years from their 18th birthday to make a claim themselves.
If there is a fatal injury involved. Provided that the 3-year time limit has not expired within the lifetime of the deceased, loved ones can make a claim for three years following the date of death.
If the person injured is receiving treatment under the Mental Health Act 1983 at the time of the accident, the three-year period will start when the patient is discharged.
The amount of compensation you can claim depends on the type and severity of your injuries. It may also cover private medical treatment expenses and time off work for recovery. For a more accurate estimate tailored to your circumstances, contact PSR Solicitors today.

Personal Injury Solicitor
The compensation process can appear complex, but our experienced solicitors have helped many bikers and pillion passengers make successful claims for their injuries. We will simplify the process for you and guide you through.
In some circumstances, you can make a Motorbike Accident Claim on behalf of someone else. For example, if the injury involves the head, brain or spine, the person may not have the mental capacity to make a claim themselves. If this has happened, a family member or loved one can make the claim on their behalf as a ‘litigation friend’.
If your loved one unfortunately passed away from a motorbike accident, you could still make a claim. The money received could cover bereavement, funeral costs and money for dependents.
If the responsible driver is uninsured or fled the scene, you can still make a motorbike accident claim. PSR Solicitors will work with the Motor Insurer's Bureau (MIB) to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve. Meeting certain criteria is necessary, including reporting the accident to the police and making a claim with the MIB within nine months.
The short answer is yes. You can make a claim against whichever authority is responsible for ensuring roads are surfaced correctly if your accident was caused by damaged roads.
Authorities have a duty of care towards drivers to ensure that the roads are safe to drive on. By law, they are required to conduct regular inspections of roads to ensure that there are no dangers to road users. If there are any hazards on the road, there should be signs warning drivers.
If the accident was partially your fault, you could still make a claim. The responsibility of the accident can be shared between parties. When we are assessing your claim, we will identify your part in causing the accident, and if you are also at fault, a split liability agreement will be set up. This means that you will receive a percentage of the compensation that you would have received if the third party was fully at fault. For example, if you were 25% responsible, then you will receive 75% of the total compensation.
Motorcyclists are among the most vulnerable road users. Unlike cars with protective features, motorbike riders rely on helmets, gloves, boots, and protective gear to shield themselves. However, even with these precautions, motorcycle accidents can result in severe injuries, both physically and psychologically.
According to the road safety charity Brake, bikers are 63 times more likely to be seriously injured or killed in an accident than car drivers, and are significantly more likely to be affected by damaged road surfaces. The consequences of a motorcycle accident are often life-changing.
Some of the most common motorbike accidents involve:
Motorbike accidents are split into two categories depending on which part of the bike is affected. These are:
Whatever the scale of your accident, if this wasn’t your fault, you could make a valid compensation claim. Get in touch and we can best advise you on what to do.
All of our Motorbike Accident Compensation Claims are on a no win no fee basis. This means that if the person making the claim is unsuccessful, there will be no fees to pay.
Before you make the claim, you will enter a Confidentiality Fee Agreement (CFA). This means that there is only a fee if your claim is successful, giving you peace of mind that there is no risk of losing money on your behalf.
If your claim is successful, the defendant's insurance company will pay most legal costs, and we will take an agreed fixed percentage of this.
For your own protection, we will take out an After The Event (ATE) insurance policy, which means that in the very rare instance that your claim isn’t successful, the costs will be covered and there will be no financial burden on your end.
My case was handled in a courteous and professional manner from beginning to end. I was kept informed throughout and the settlement obtained was very satisfactory.
I found PSR solicitors very help full and professional in their handling of my claim and would recommend the firm to any one.
There are a number of precautions you can take immediately following a motorbike accident to help your future claim. Anything that helps establish the other party's fault, your injuries, and your losses and damages can support your legal case when you begin the claims process. On the scene of the accident, you should:
Having a clear, provable reconstruction of the events is vital. Our expert Motorcycle Accident Solicitors will need to establish fault for the accident, and use any piece of evidence to strengthen your claim. We are ready to answer any question or doubt you may have regarding the claims process, so get in touch today if you have been involved and injured in a motorcycle accident.
The responsibility of payment depends on the cause of the accident, and who’s fault it was. If you are claiming against another driver and they have valid insurance, their insurance company will pay the fees. If the accident was caused by a lack of road maintenance and you are claiming against a public body, their public liability insurance company will cover the costs.
If the accident was caused by an uninsured or untraceable driver, the Motor Insurance Bureau will pay the compensation costs.
The amount of time it takes to settle a compensation claim varies from case to case. However, generally, claims will be settled within 6-12 months. Factors which affect how quickly the claim will be settled include:
If you would like to go forward with a compensation claim, one of our comprehensive and thorough solicitors will take your claim and ensure that you receive the compensation that you deserve.
Following your motorbike accident, you should be examined by a doctor for your own health, to ensure there are no underlying issues even if you feel physically fine.
A medical examination is also a crucial piece of evidence in your compensation claim, to establish the extent of your injuries. You will most likely need to be seen by an independent doctor to add weight to your claim. Don’t worry, our team will guide you through this process and advise you on what is best.
There are only a very small percentage of claims that go to court, because of the further costs incurred. It is best for both parties to settle outside of courts. However, if one party disputes the settlement, we may ask you to go to court. This is very rare though and you can refuse to appear or give evidence in a different format using technology.
