If you are injured in any of type of road accident in the U.K. that was caused by someone else's negligence, whatever type of vehicle was involved, you have the right pursue compensation for your injuries.
Motorcyclists make up less than 1% of vehicle traffic but their riders suffer 14% of total deaths and serious injuries on Britain's roads (DETR, 2000). Claims following motorcycle accidents are very similar to car accident claims . As with other road accident claims, you should have as much documentation to support your claim as possible, and compensation can normally be obtained on a no win no fee basis.

There are a number of claims companies that can help you understand whether you have a legitimate claim. Reputable companies such as National Accident Helpline have legally trained advisors who can tell you within minutes if you are eligible to make a claim. If so, they will put you in direct contact with a specialist road traffic accident claims solicitor, who can handle your claim on a no win no fee basis.
The amount of compensation awarded for injuries sustained in a car accident varies from case to case and depends on a number of different factors. These include the severity of injuries and where on the body they are sustained, and the amount of time taken off work as a result.
An accident claims lawyer will assess your case and explain the process of how they will handle the injury claim, based on your specific injuries. In most cases, these claims are settled relatively quickly, but if the injuries are severe, it may take longer to resolve the claim. The main thing to remember is, in the UK, an accident claim should, wherever possible, be submitted within three years of the accident taking place.
