Why it's not a good idea to use your insurance company.

Most insurance companies "sell" cases on to one of the large factory law firms, usually the highest bidder and worst performer (they have to pay for your case as they can't get the work any other way). This is why you are bombarded with calls from Motorcycle Injury Lawyers as soon as you report your accident to your insurers.

For a much better service, contact a specialist Motorbike Accident Solicitor of your own choice, like PSR Solicitors.

In many cases, we go on to secure far higher compensation settlement values than cases settled by Insurers.

Understanding Compensation for Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents often result in more severe injuries compared to accidents involving cars, simply because motorcycles provide less physical protection. Even the most cautious rider can find themselves in an accident caused by the negligence of other road users, defective motorcycle equipment, or environmental hazards like poorly maintained roads. These factors can lead to serious injuries, ranging from broken bones and soft tissue damage to life-altering conditions like spinal cord injuries or traumatic brain injuries.

At PSR Solicitors, we are committed to making your journey towards justice and recovery as straightforward as possible. Choosing us as your Motorcycle Accident Lawyer means choosing a dedicated team who understands the impact an accident can have on every aspect of your life. We recognise that recovering from a motorcycle accident involves far more than just the physical recovery. It’s also about managing financial losses, addressing emotional distress, and planning for any potential long-term health impacts.

Our goal is to provide you with the best possible legal representation so you can focus on rebuilding your life. We’ll take care of the legal complexities while ensuring that your claim fully reflects the compensation you are entitled to, whether for medical expenses, loss of earnings, or the emotional trauma caused by the accident.

Should I speak to a Motorcycle Accident Lawyer?

If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle accident, seeking legal advice as early as possible is essential. Many people hesitate to contact a lawyer, unsure if their situation justifies a claim, but even seemingly straightforward accidents can involve complexities that require expert legal guidance.

Speaking with a Motorcycle Accident Lawyer can help you understand your rights and determine if you are entitled to compensation. At PSR Solicitors, we will carefully assess the details of your case, gather essential evidence, and ensure that no crucial aspects—such as the long-term effects of your injuries or financial losses—are overlooked. .

One of the most important reasons to consult a lawyer is to avoid being pressured by insurance companies or opposing parties into accepting a settlement that doesn’t fully address your needs. Our team will handle all communications on your behalf, ensuring your interests are protected every step of the way.

At PSR Solicitors, we offer a free initial consultation, giving you the opportunity to discuss your situation with no financial obligation. We will provide you with clarity about your options and outline the next steps towards securing the compensation you deserve.

Free Initial Advice 

If you've been injured in a motorbike accident that wasn't your fault, contact our specialist motorcycle accident solicitors for a free, no-obligation consultation. We're here to guide you through the process, handle all legal complexities, and support you on your road to recovery.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents can occur for a variety of reasons, many of which stem from the actions of other road users or external circumstances.

One of the most common causes is the failure of other drivers to notice motorcyclists, particularly at junctions or when changing lanes.

Speeding and reckless driving also contribute to accidents, as they significantly reduce reaction times, making it harder for drivers to avoid collisions.

Common causes include:

  • Failure of other drivers to see motorcyclists, especially at junctions or during lane changes
  • Speeding or reckless driving, which reduces reaction times
  • Hazardous road conditions such as potholes or uneven road surfaces
  • Poor weather conditions impacting road visibility and control
  • Defective motorcycle parts, including brake or tire failures
  • Rear end shunts

Regardless of the cause, if you believe someone else’s negligence contributed to your accident, you may be eligible to make a personal injury claim.

Seeking advice from a specialist Motorcycle Accident Lawyer can help you establish the details of the accident, gather evidence, and work towards securing a fair outcome.

Common Types of Injuries That Lead to a Claim

Motorcycle accidents often result in serious injuries, many of which can have long-term or even life-changing consequences. Given the limited protection a motorbike offers compared to a car, riders are particularly vulnerable to significant harm.

Some of the most common injuries that lead to compensation claims include:

  • Fractures and broken bones
  • Spinal injuries
  • Partial or full paralysis
  • Amputation
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
  • Neck injuries
  • Back injuries
  • Head injuries
  • Herniated discs
  • Severe lacerations
  • Damage to internal organs

Injuries like these can all result in prolonged medical treatment, permanent disability, or chronic pain. They often prevent individuals from returning to work or their regular activities, making it essential to pursue a claim to cover medical expenses, lost income, and ongoing care needs.

At PSR Solicitors, our personal injury specialists offer tailored legal support, designed to fit the specific circumstances of your accident and the nature of your injuries.

Unfortunately, many law firms today rely on untrained fee earners to handle road accident claims.

  • We will ensure you have access to the best in private medical care, rehabilitation, specialist equipment and house modifications.
  • We will quickly and efficiently arrange financial support and interim payments until your case is settled to cover your costs and protect against any loss of earnings.
  • We will advise on any benefits that you may be eligible for.
  • We will assist with personal injury trusts to protect your case.
  • We have been awarded Law Society and Lexcel accreditations for legal services.

At PSR Solicitors, we combine a friendly and approachable style with expert legal knowledge, giving you peace of mind that your case is in the best possible hands.

Frequently Asked Questions

It is possible to make a claim on behalf of someone else.

Sometimes the injuries affecting motorcyclists are so serious and debilitating that loved ones need to step in and help. 

Wherever possible we do try to speak to the person affected to obtain their permission to discuss their case with another party, but we appreciate that there are times when this is not possible and will continue to offer our help and support.

We are also able to provide advice to anyone who may have lost a loved one through a fatal motorcycle accident and are specially trained to help families and friends dealing with such heart-breaking and tragic circumstances.

Although seeking compensation for your injuries can feel complicated and time-consuming, we are on hand to manage the entire process and to make everything as straight-forward as possible for you.  We can offer you a free, no-obligation consultation, where we can advise you on your chances of a successful case and how much recompense you are likely to receive.

To proceed with your claim we will need as much information as possible including:

  • Photographic evidence from the accident scene.
  • Witness statements and contact details.
  • The driver’s contact and insurance details.
  • A record of your injuries and any medical treatment already received.
  • Evidence of all the expenses you have had to cover so far as a result of your injuries.


We understand that discussing what has happened to you may be extremely difficult but we will go at your own pace and will never make you feel pressured or rushed. We can come and speak to you at home or in hospital, if your injuries make it difficult or impossible to travel to our offices. We can also, in some circumstances, take your initial instruction over the phone to make everything as simple, relaxed and stress-free as possible.

We take the majority of motorbike accident cases on a no win no fee agreement basis, which means if we don’t win, you don’t have to pay anything.

While many motorcycle riders are highly responsible and skilled road users, accidents involving motorbikes are unfortunately common, and more serious than other accidents. Although motorbikes account for only 1% of traffic on UK roads, they represent nearly 20% of all fatalities. UK Government statistics show that, on average, six motorcyclists die every week as a result of road accidents between 2018 and 2022. The most common cause of accidents is drivers and riders failing to look properly - for both the motorcyclists and other vehicles involved.

 

A motorcycle accident compensation claim is designed to cover more than just your immediate medical expenses.

At PSR, we will work to ensure that all aspects of your suffering are considered, including:

  • Medical costs for treatment, rehabilitation, or surgery
  • Loss of earnings, both past and future, if your injuries prevent you from working
  • Damage to your motorcycle and other personal property
  • Pain and suffering, including psychological impacts such as anxiety or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Ongoing care needs, if your injuries require long-term support or adaptation to your home

Our aim is to ensure that you receive the full compensation you deserve to help rebuild your life after the accident.

The compensation payout is determined by the severity of your injuries and the level of the care and rehabilitation needed. The court will consider your long-term prognosis, loss of earnings, how your injuries affect your ability to continue with everyday activities and any changes that may be needed to your home so that you can continue to live independently.

Your compensation award will be essential to your recovery, future well-being and financial security so we will work tirelessly in pursuit of the maximum amount to cover:

  • Medical care
  • Specialist equipment or house modifications
  • Loss of earnings
  • Damage caused to your motorbike or other equipment
  • Any other financial losses

Our helpful guide to Motorbike Accident Compensation Claims can help you understand what your case might be worth.
