The Bike Accident Services We Provide

Motorbike Accident Claims

These lawsuits address incidents where motorbike riders suffer injuries due to another party’s negligence, such as a reckless driver or hazardous road conditions. They aim to cover expenses like medical treatment, lost income, repair or replacement of the vehicle, and motorcycle accident compensation for physical and emotional distress. The purpose is to ease the financial impact on riders while holding the responsible party accountable.

Motorcycle accidents in London often involve high speeds and limited protection for riders, making them particularly dangerous. The risks include severe injuries such as fractures, head trauma, and spinal damage, especially in collisions with larger vehicles or due to hazardous road conditions like oil spills or potholes.

Bicycle Accident Claims

London is well-known for its cycling capabilities due to its beautiful scenery and bicycle-friendly routes, but it also means accidents are more common. Cycling accidents often stem from negligent drivers, poorly maintained infrastructure, or hazardous obstacles. Lawsuits seek to recover costs for injuries, lost earnings, bicycle repairs, and psychological harm. The focus is on safeguarding cyclists’ rights and providing them with the financial support needed to recover without additional burdens.

Bicycle accidents, while generally occurring at lower speeds, also carry significant risks, particularly when cyclists share the road with inattentive drivers or encounter poorly maintained cycling infrastructure. Injuries can range from minor cuts to serious head injuries, even with proper safety gear.

E-scooter Accident Claims

These lawsuits deal with incidents involving e-scooter riders, which can arise from unsafe road surfaces, collisions with vehicles, or pedestrian interactions. Compensation typically covers medical bills, repair or replacement of the e-scooter, lost income, and other damages. The aim is to guide riders through the process while securing the redress they deserve for their losses and suffering.

E-scooter accidents present unique risks due to the relative instability of the vehicles, their silent operation, and limited visibility to others on the road. Collisions with cars or pedestrians, as well as sudden stops caused by uneven surfaces or road debris, can result in anything from scrapes and bruises to more severe injuries, such as broken bones or concussions.

Whatever type of accident you are involved in, our London bike accident solicitors are here to provide comfort, guidance, and the justice you deserve, helping you obtain the full compensation you are entitled to.

Our Claims Process

Our claims process is designed to be straightforward and supportive, guiding you every step of the way:

Initial Legal Advice

We start by offering a free, no-obligation consultation to discuss your case. During this stage, we listen to your story, assess your situation, and provide initial legal advice on the best course of action.

Evidence Collection

Our team meticulously compiles essential evidence, such as accident reports, medical records, and witness testimonies, to construct a solid case for you.

Submitting the Claim

We handle all the paperwork and submit your claim to the relevant parties, ensuring that every detail is addressed to avoid delays.

Negotiating Settlements

Our experienced solicitors negotiate with the insurers or other liable parties to secure the best possible settlement for you. We fight for compensation that truly reflects your injuries and losses.

Rehabilitation Support

We also work with external partners to provide access to rehabilitation services where needed, helping you recover both physically and mentally. Additionally, if the other party involved in the accident was uninsured or cannot be traced, compensation is still possible through the Motor Insurers' Bureau (MIB). This ensures that you are not left without options, even in challenging situations.

Throughout the process, our goal is to alleviate the stress of making a claim, allowing you to focus on your recovery while we take care of the legal complexities.

How Do I Know If I’m Eligible for a London Accident Claim?

Determining your eligibility is simpler than you might think. If you’ve been involved in a motorbike, bicycle, or e-scooter accident that wasn’t your fault, there’s a good chance you could make a claim. Eligibility generally depends on a few key factors:

  • Was it caused by someone else’s negligence? This could include a reckless driver, poorly maintained roads, or other hazards that contributed to your accident.
  • Did the accident happen within the last three years? In most cases, claims need to be filed within three years of the incident, although there are exceptions for specific circumstances.
  • Were you injured as a result? Even if your injuries seem minor, you may still be eligible to claim compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and other damages.

If the other party was uninsured or cannot be traced, you may still be entitled to compensation through the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB). The MIB exists to provide financial support for victims of accidents involving uninsured or untraceable drivers, guaranteeing you’re not left without recourse.

If you’re in doubt, don’t worry—our team is here to help. During a free consultation, we’ll evaluate the details of your accident, answer your questions, and advise you on the next steps. Let us take the guesswork out of the process and help you determine your eligibility with confidence.

Accident Statistics for London

In 2022, London experienced 23,465 reported road collisions, resulting in 102 fatalities, 3,859 serious injuries, and 23,246 slight injuries. Alarmingly, vulnerable road users—pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists—accounted for 80% of those killed or seriously injured, highlighting the disproportionate risks they face.

These statistics underscore the critical importance of seeking redress for those affected. Pursuing compensation not only aids individual recovery but also holds negligent parties accountable, promoting safer road practices.

For instance, in a notable London case, a motorcyclist received £315,000 in compensation after being knocked off his bike in a hit-and-run incident, resulting in multiple fractures and severe post-traumatic stress disorder. This substantial payout was crucial in helping the victim cover the costs of extensive physiotherapy and mental health support, ensuring they could focus on rebuilding their life. Beyond that, it serves as a stark warning to reckless drivers that our roads are not free-for-all spaces and that negligence comes with serious consequences.

What No Win, No Fee Means for You

The "No Win, No Fee" agreement is designed to make legal support accessible to everyone, regardless of financial situation. This means that if your case is unsuccessful, you won’t have to pay any legal fees. Our goal is to remove the financial risks typically associated with making a claim, so you can focus on your recovery without worrying about costs.

If your claim is successful, a pre-agreed percentage of your compensation will be used to cover our legal fees. This ensures that there are no upfront costs and no hidden charges. Moreover, this approach benefits clients by removing the fear of financial loss if the claim is unsuccessful. It allows individuals to make a claim without the worry of ending up out of pocket. With our expert team on your side, you can have confidence that we’ll fight your case tirelessly—and you won’t pay us anything unless we succeed.

A No Win, No Fee agreement is a type of funding arrangement where you only pay legal fees if your claim is successful. This makes pursuing compensation risk-free, as you won't face any costs if the claim does not succeed.

In most cases, you have up to three years from the date of the accident to make a claim. However, there are exceptions, such as when the injured party is a minor or if the injuries only became apparent at a later date.

You may be eligible to claim compensation for a range of losses, including medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, damage to your bike, and general damages for pain and suffering.

If the other party involved in the accident is uninsured or cannot be traced, you may still be eligible to receive compensation through the Motor Insurers' Bureau (MIB), which is designed to provide financial support in these types of scenarios.

The length of time required can vary significantly depending on the complexity of the case and the willingness of the other party to cooperate. Some claims are resolved within months, while others may take longer if liability is disputed.
