There are many ways an accident can occur while riding your motorbike, and our personal injury team is well versed in the many causes of crashes. Common reasons for an accident happening include:
Injuries sustained in such accidents can vary from minor to serious, with some causing lasting problems that often need regular care. We have helped motorcyclists who have suffered from head injuries, fractures and broken bones, amputations, whiplash, back and spinal damage and paraplegia. However you’ve been injured, if it was caused by the negligence of another road user or a local council’s failure to maintain roads to a satisfying level, you could be entitled to make a claim for compensation
Being the most vulnerable on the road, your safety is your responsibility, so you must ensure you follow the Highway Code’s rules to show that you have done everything possible to keep yourself safe and free from harm should you be involved in an accident. This includes:
If you’ve done everything required to ensure your safety on the road and are involved in an accident that was caused by the negligence of another driver, then you are entitled to make a claim against them through their insurance company. If your accident was caused by the weather or poorly maintained roads, then you can make a claim against the local council should it be proven that they did not do enough to prevent your accident from happening.
In cases of hit and run and uninsured drivers, claims can be made with the Motor Insurers’ Bureau if you have reported the incident to the police and your insurance company, as well as done everything in your power to locate the driver. We understand how tricky this can be and can provide advice and guidance on this type of claim.
Following an accident, there are a number of things you can do to help your claim should your health not be in jeopardy. These should be taken solely as guidance and do not constitute as proper legal advice.
Once you’ve received suitable medical assistance, contact the specialist personal injury solicitors at Aequitas Legal to begin your claim.
Motorcycle accident claims must be made within three years of an incident occurring, or three years from the date you are aware that an injury was caused by a collision. To read more about making a claim, take a look at our guide to the claims process.
Compensation awarded is determined by a number of factors, including the severity and duration of an injury and expenses incurred as a result of your injury, which includes damage to your motorcycle and any protective gear you were wearing at that time. To make sure you are awarded the maximum amount of compensation, it’s important that you keep any paperwork associated with the accident.
At Aequitas Legal, we are dedicated to ensuring that you receive the compensation you deserve following a motorcycle accident, so you’re free to concentrate on getting better and getting back on your bike. Our team has years of experience in handling this type of claim and understands what needs to be done for justice.
We believe a personal approach is the only way to make a successful claim. That’s why you will be assigned your own injury solicitor who will have a full understanding of your needs and be able to provide updates on your claim as and when you should need them. It also means should you have a query, you know exactly who to contact.

My case went on for just over 2 years. The team were very helpful and Matthew made sure i was kept up to date and always asked for my opinion. There was no pressure and he offered his own opinion to help along the way. Thank you very much aequitas legal!
My experience with Aequitas Legal was excellent overall. The process was made very simple and took up very little time on my part, particularly with use of the 'InCase' App and emails. My caseworker, Jane Hargreaves, was very approachable and friendly, and responded to queries promptly. I was expecting my case to take the best part of 6 months to resolve but was settled with my cheque in the post within just a few months. Very impressed at such a stress free and innovative experience and would recommend to others.

Great customer service with prompt responses to questions and queries, I would not hesitate to recommend them.
Thank you for a quick and easy settlement.
