How Much Can You Claim?

When it comes to beginning your claim, several factors to consider about your specific accident include the type of accident, severity of your injuries and financial losses. Solicitors are often asked, “how much compensation?” Here is a summary of what a solicitor will consider:

  • The severity of your motorbike injuries – Are they serious?  Life-changing or life-threatening?  The greater the pain and suffering, the more compensation you will receive. Your solicitor will also consider the impact of the injuries on your quality of life.
  • Your age – The younger you are, the more compensation you will receive.
  • Your sex – Females will receive more compensation for scarring
  • Any pre-accident medical problems – Your pre-motorbike accident medical history will be taken into account and assessed. Your solicitor will obtain your medical notes and forward them to an independent medical expert who will then examine you and consider the extent of your injuries.
  • Financial losses – All reasonable financial losses following an accident claim will be recoverable in the form of a compensation payment.  These include:
    1. Loss of earnings, overtime, benefits and bonuses
    2. Damage to the motorcycle, repairs, replacement
    3. A replacement bike or car hire
    4. Medical expenses such as rehabilitation
    5. Parking and travel expenses
    6. Nursing care
    7. All other losses/expenses that are reasonable

The courts will take all the above into account. It will listen to what you have to say about the impact of the injuries on your life and the opinion of the medical experts. The courts will look to other cases similar to yours to decide how much to award you.
