Motorcycle Accident Injury Claim Experts
MOTORBIKE ACCIDENTS
If you have been injured in a motorbike accident that was not your fault, talk to our specialist Motorbike Accident Solicitors about compensation.
Being injured in a road traffic accident of any kind can be physically and emotionally traumatic. Depending on the nature of your injuries, the impact on your life can be wide ranging and long lasting.
Motorcycle accidents are among the most serious of all road accidents due to the rider’s greater exposure to danger. There were over 16,000 motorcyclist casualties in the UK in 2019, and even though motorbikes represent only 1% of the traffic on our roads, they make up almost 20% of fatalities.
Although most motorbike accidents occur at lower speeds, the likelihood of serious or fatal injuries increases dramatically at higher speeds. If a motorcyclist is knocked off their bike the types of injury, they are likely to sustain include concussion, head and brain injuries, spinal injuries, broken bones, and facial disfigurements.
If you are one of the many motorcyclists who have been injured in an accident that was not your fault, our expert Motorbike Accident Solicitors can help you maximise the level of compensation achieved and minimise the time taken to receive the settlement.
Depending on your exact needs we can also claim funding for private medical treatment and rehabilitation to assist in your recovery and get your life back on track. Pursuing compensation for your motorbike accident is not something you have to do on your own, you need specialist advice.
Trust us to help you.
Quality and professional service. My claim was dealt with very quickly and efficiently, would highly recommend.
I would like to thank the team at the Wrexham office for everything they have done for me and for reaching settlement. I will definitely recommend PSR
Thank you very much. I never believed I would receive such a large sum of money. Your service is friendly and impeccable and I would certainly recommend you, in fact I already have.
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.
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.
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 motorbike injury lawyers as soon as you report your accident to your insurers. For a much better bespoke service contact, a specialist accident claims solicitor of your own choice, like PSR Solicitors.
In many cases, we go on to secure far higher compensation settlement values than claims for motorbike injuries settled by Insurers.
The most common cause of motorcycle accidents is the failure of other vehicle drivers to notice the motorbike in traffic.
This often occurs when a vehicle is turning right at a junction and the driver does not see the on-coming motorbike, or when changing lanes. An in-depth report by MAIDS into the causes of accidents involving motorbikes found that in less than 20% of cases the motorcyclist was rated as being fully or partly to blame.
There are clearly a lot of incidents where the motorbike rider is entitled to claim compensation.
Being involved in a motorbike crash is often a very frightening experiences as unlike car accidents, motorbike riders are often exposed and this can lead to them suffering very serious injuries and their motorbike suffering extensive damage and in most cases, being written off.
Usually these accidents happen when other road users do not see a motorbike approach and there is a national campaign entitled “THINK BIKE” to try and raise the awareness of other road users. You can be a very safe motorbike rider however there is always the other driver to watch out for.
There are instances however where the bike itself is defective or the road surface is uneven/potholed and this can cause an accident to happen.
If your motorbike is damaged then it may require repairing or, depending on the severity of the damage and the age of the motorbike, it may be deemed a write off. In the first scenario we can arrange for an engineer to assess the damage and then arrange for the repairs to be undertaken whilst you are provided with a replacement hire vehicle. If your motorcycle is deemed to be a write off we will seek a payment (based on the market valuation) from the insurers of the person at fault. We can also arrange for you to be provided with a replacement hire vehicle until you are put in funds to purchase another vehicle. This can be of vital importance if you use your vehicle for work.
Our helpful guide to motorbike accident compensation claims can help you understand what your claim might be worth.
Your questions answered
If you have been injured in a motorbike accident in the past three years due to the fault or negligence of someone else then you are able to make a compensation claim as recompense for the pain, suffering and financial hardship caused.
The amount you receive will be 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 every day 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:
It is possible to make a compensation claim on behalf of someone else. Sometimes the injuries effecting motorcyclists are so serious and debilitating that loved ones need to step in and help or sometimes the injured person is understandably too distressed to talk about what has happened. Wherever possible we do try and speak to the person affected to obtain their permission to discuss their claim 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 claiming 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 claim and how much compensation you are likely to receive.
To proceed with your claim we will need as much information as possible including:
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 one of 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.
You deserve to be given the best chance possible of receiving the full amount of compensation, which will be vital for your recovery and long-term financial security. At PSR Solicitors, our personal injury specialists can provide you with bespoke legal support, tailored to the precise circumstances surrounding your accident and your specific injuries.
Unfortunately many law firms now employ teams of untrained fee earners to handle claims, meaning that you don’t know who is acting on your behalf, will have no personal contact with a qualified solicitor and could find that your claim is significantly reduced or lost altogether.

Paul Rossiter
Managing Director
All Offices
I am the Managing Director of PSR Solicitors. After working in various law firms, both small high street firms and a larger practice in Manchester, I saw a gap in the market for a high quality practice that had the same core high street values of being personable and approachable and combining them with the efficiency and professionalism of a larger practice. PSR Solicitors was therefore established in 2009 in Shotton, Deeside with this aim. Since then PSR Solicitors has provided high quality legal services to local clients throughout North Wales and Cheshire.
I live in Chester with my young family and 2 dogs and enjoy regular holidays along the coast of North Wales.
I have recently been asked to join the board of trustees at Platform For Life, a mental health counselling charity in Chester. Good mental health is the foundation of a more fulfilled, happy and healthy life, yet many families struggle to access the help and support they need to achieve it. Platform for Life offers free local counselling and play therapy for families who would otherwise not be able to afford it.
Mark House
Solicitor - Head of Litigation
Shotton Office, Wrexham Office, Colwyn Bay Office, Wallasey Office
I completed my law degree and legal practice course at Nottingham Law School, before qualifying as a solicitor in 2004. I then worked at a specialist personal injury firm in the East Midlands and a leading regional firm, before joining PSR in 2017.
With PSR I've continued to specialise in acting for Personal Injury claimants and have developed a keen understanding of the procedures and tactics involved in pursuing a claim, as well as the difficulties and concerns faced by people who have suffered as the result of an accident.
Since 2014 I've been proud to help hundreds of people. I've represented the public in all manner of injury claims, including serious orthopaedic injuries, brain damage, and psychological trauma. I was instructed to deal with claims for clients in the aftermath of the Potters Bar rail crash and the Penhallow hotel fire.
In addition, I represent clients in relation to all manner of disputes. I have dealt with professional negligence claims, such as those against solicitors and builders. I have helped clients recover money which is due to them and to dispute invoices which have been sent to them. I have helped business defend claims against them. I have tackled neighbour and boundary disputes.
I live locally to the Colwyn Bay office, and outside of work, I enjoy taking advantage of the coastal and mountain outdoor activities which are available on the doorstep. I'm also heavily involved with an outdoor pursuits charity, which I find an enjoyable and rewarding way of using my free time.
