Motorbike Accident Claims

Vincents Solicitors have a wide range of experience dealing with bikers who have suffered significant injuries as a result of non-fault motorbike accidents. In fact, one of our team, Deborah Harrison, is an experienced biker herself.

Motorcyclists are vulnerable road users and motorbike accidents can result in significant injuries such as:

Brain and head injuries

Spinal Injury

Broken bones

Fatal injuries

Often, motorbike accidents can result in catastrophic and life changing injuries. The team works with leading experts to ensure that you recover compensation not only for the significant injures suffered but also to ensure that you receive any treatment, rehabilitation and care that you require both now and in the future.

If the motorbike accident results in a fatal injury, the team has the necessary experience to support the bereaved family to pursue a claim.

Frequently asked questions

Yes you can pursue a claim for any loss of earnings you have suffered so long as you are able to prove that it was necessary for you to be absent from work and you are able to support by way of evidence such as payslips how much money you have lost. Vincents Solicitors will be able to advise you about this as part of the claims process.

It is illegal for your employer to sack you for pursuing a claim against them. If your Employer dismisses you from your employment as a result of pursuing a claim against them then you may also have an Employment Law claim for Unfair Dismissal. We are able to put you in contact with an Employment Solicitor to provide advice to you should this eventuality occur.

In order for you to prove how you were injured as a result of an accident or in clinical negligence cases what illness or symptoms you have suffered then you will need to attend for a medical examination with an independent medical expert. In the more complex cases you may be required to attend more than one examination. After an examination, the independent medical expert will then provide a report setting out how you have been injured or what illness you are suffering and how long it will take for you to make a recovery.

The majority of personal injury and clinical negligence claims are settled without the need to go to Court however if we believe that it is isn’t going to be possible to settle your claim then we will advise you about going to Court. Going to Court to give evidence can be a daunting experience but Vincents Solicitors will support you throughout. Quite often claims will still settle during the Court process but without having to attend a final Hearing in front of a Judge.

How much compensation you receive in the event of a successful claim depends upon the severity of the injures or illness you have suffered and the wider impact this has had on your day to day life. You are entitled to claim two different types of compensation. General Damages are paid to you for the pain, suffering and loss of amenity suffered i.e for the injuries you have sustained. Special Damages are the losses you have incurred as a result of the accident or incident such as loss of earnings, medical treatment costs, travel expenses etc.

The length of time that a personal injury claim will take to conclude is different for each particular claim depending on the circumstances of the accident, how long investigations take and whether it is possible to reach an amicable settlement with the party at fault. If Vincents Solicitors aren’t able to successfully negotiate your claim with the opposing party then we will advise you about bringing Court proceedings which will add to the overall amount of time take to conclude your claim. However you can be assured that Vincents Solicitors will progress your claim as efficiently as possible.

If you have a claim for personal injury then Vincents Solicitors will deal with your claim on a No Win No Fee Agreement.

Personal Injury claims are largely pursued against the insurer of drivers, businesses, shops and other premises. In Clinical Negligence claims the claim will be brought against either an individual healthcare professional such as a Hospital Consultant, Surgeon, General Practitioner, Dentist or against a private clinic or NHS Hospital. Vincents Solicitors will investigate who is responsible for your claim and will negotiate both liability and settlement of your claim with the relevant party.

A personal injury claim should be brought within 3 years of the date of the accident. In clinical negligence claims the time limit is 3 years from either the event that caused your injuries or illness or alternatively 3 years that you became aware that an event had caused you harm (date of knowledge). If a claim is being made on behalf of someone who has died then the 3 year time limit will apply from the date of death. If a claim is being made on behalf of a child then the 3 year time limit will run from their 18th birthday. If a Claimant lacks mental capacity then the three year time limit will not apply.

If you have been involved in an accident or suffered injuries or illness as a result of negligent medical treatment then you should get in touch with Vincents Solicitors so we can advise you about pursuing a Personal Injury or Clinical Negligence claim. We will discuss the circumstances of the accident or incident with you and will advise you whether we think you have a claim to pursue. We will then write to the party at fault and will negotiate liability on your behalf. In order for a claim to be successful you will need to obtain evidence in particular medical evidence of the injuries or illness suffered, evidence of how it happened by way of photographs, CCTV footage, or accident reports and any independent witness evidence. We will assist you in obtaining all of the necessary evidence required to allow you to successfully pursue your claim. We will obtain witness evidence if required and medical evidence from our independent medical experts. If the medical experts recommend a course of treatment to you we may be able to assist in arranging this or secure an interim payment from the other party so you can pay for the recommended treatment. Once all of the evidence in support of your claim has been gathered, we will negotiate settlement of the claim on your behalf.

You need to speak to a firm who has experts in dealing with whatever particular problem that you have whether that be Divorce, Writing your will, Conveyancing or something more specialist like Medical Negligence Misdiagnosis Claims or Trade Marks and Patents. At Vincents we have specialists across 7 locations who are approachable, knowledgeable and speak in plain english. Try and call us today and find out if we are the right fit for you.

I’m writing to thank you and your entire law firm for all of your hard work throughout my case.

Throughout the time we worked together, everyone at your law firm was kind, patient, and supportive. My hectic university schedule made it difficult for me to respond quickly, so your team was sure to email me every time there was a new development.

I cannot thank you enough for the amazing treatment you gave me. I hope that our paths should never have to cross again (no more broken bones for me!), but if they do, I’m confident your hard work and determination will make my case a breeze.
