MOTORCYCLE CLAIM - ACCIDENT COMPENSATION

Beyond any safety gear that a motorcycle rider is wearing, they have virtually no protection. Their body will make direct contact with any object which strikes them and they can easily be thrown off their bike, which can result in impact with the road or a nearby stationary object. Because of this lack of protection, motorbike riders are at grave risk of serious injury if they are involved in an accident. If you have been in injured in a motorbike accident you should look for expert legal representation. Our solicitors are personal injury specialists and deal with motorcycle claims for damages involving serious spinal injury or serious head injury using the no win no fee scheme. Compensation is paid in full and win or lose there is no charge :-

Spinal Cord Injury

The spinal cord is a long bundle of nerves protected by a series of bony discs known as vertebrae. The spinal cord is the conduit through which messages in the form of electrical impulses pass between the brain and the body. A spinal injury can affect the spinal cords ability to communicate with the body, which may result in the loss of sensation and/or function. Damage to the spinal cord can have severe, wide-ranging effects. The amount of compensation a spinal injury victim can expect to receive depends on the severity of their injuries, the recovery period and whether or not there are any long term consequences. Additional compensation may also be recovered in a motorcycle claim for losses including damage to personal property, lost wages, ongoing medical care, additional living expenses and lifestyle changes. Financial compensation cannot fully restore the victim to where they were before the accident, but it can help to provide a more secure future.

Head Injury

An injury to the skull or brain can have far reaching consequences. If you were injured because of someone else’s negligence, you have the right to make a motorcycle claim. Even if you were partially at fault for the accident, you can still seek compensation. A head injury can generally be classified into one of three major types :-




1. Brain Injury which is usually caused by a blow to the head, penetration of the skull by a foreign object, acceleration/deceleration (whiplash) injuries or by violent shaking. Brain injuries can occur regardless of whether the skull has been fractured or penetrated.

2. Skull Fracture is a break in one or more of the bones that make up the skull. It occurs when a great amount of force is applied to the skull often by a blunt object. The presence of a skull fracture does not necessarily indicate an injury to the brain. The lack of a skull fracture does not preclude brain damage.

3. Concussion is an injury to the brain caused by a blow to the head or by violent shaking of the head. It may result in loss of consciousness or temporary loss of equilibrium or blurred vision.
