Our specialist solicitors will be able to tell you in as little as five minutes whether you are eligible to claim and will help you through the entire legal process, should you decide to make a claim.
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.

I’d just like to give a very positive feedback to Ansa Rashid took on my case & finally got things moving. Before that I had Susan Mason who never answered my calls or emails & the case was ongoing still 3 years on. Ansa took over, got things moving & even through her busy day rang me mostly every week, sometimes on the phone an hour or so. I can not fault this woman she is amazing at her job. Very professional, caring, trustworthy & motivational. Plenty of times I wanted to to throw the towel in but she just wouldn’t let me give up. The case took 4 years in the end & even though we didn’t win I’d still recommend her to everyone. Thank you Ansa you are a star In the making

I was involved in an accident which was not my fault, and was recommended to use Aequitas Legal. From the start, the whole journey with the team was both efficient, professional and sophisticated, with everyone essentially making the process so easy. Their ‘in-Case’ App made simple things like documents and letters so accessible, and meant I could access any import documents at anytime in seconds. I first spoke to Sucheet, who was the gentleman in charge of the company, who explained how everything would work, and pointed me in the direction of Connor, who would be my main liaison during the case. Together, they both ensured I was given the best advice, and seamlessly helped me through the case, which was concluded with a positive outcome! I could not recommend this company more, and will always be my go-to firm.

I was amazed on how determined the team were in seeing my case through. If you are looking for a reliable, easy and transparent team to handle your case, here they are. I would like to thank Somia who I believe either led or coordinated my case for doing a fantastic job in both seeing the case through and communication.

Highly recommend Aequitas who have recently dealt with my successful case. Special thanks to James Sloane who made the process much easier ; very professional, friendly and happy to explain everything simply. Also very encouraging and supportive with regular updates as well as spot on with getting paperwork and documents organised.
For someone like myself who has never been involved in a legal process I'm delighted with how my case was handled with this company.
