What Are the Top Five Bike Accident Claim Amounts?
The aftermath of a motorbike accident can turn your life upside down – but you don’t have to face it alone. For over three decades, we’ve helped riders across North Wales get back on their feet by securing the compensation they deserve. Whether your crash happened on a rural road near Bangor or a busy junction in Wrexham, our experienced team is here to guide you every step of the way. We offer clear, expert advice with no upfront costs and no hidden fees, just practical support from people who understand what you’re going through.
Experience matters. With over 30 years of specialist knowledge, our team is well-equipped to handle even the most complex cases. We understand the impact an accident can have on your life — and we’re here to help you rebuild.
We work on a no-win, no-fee basis, meaning there’s no financial pressure to start your claim. You’ll also get a free initial consultation with no strings attached. From start to finish, we take care of the paperwork, the negotiations, and the legal details. You’ll be supported by R. James Hutcheon Solicitors, a trusted firm with a reputation for putting clients first.
Motorbike Accident ClaimsWe help motorcyclists who’ve been injured because someone else wasn’t paying attention — whether that’s a driver pulling out without looking, a lorry cutting across a lane, or a council that’s left a road in a dangerous state. We’ll step in to help you claim for medical costs, time off work, damage to your bike, and the wider impact it’s had on your life.
Riding in North Wales brings its own risks. From winding country roads to poor visibility in the hills, it doesn’t take much for things to go wrong, especially when other road users aren’t careful. Serious injuries like fractures, head trauma, and spinal damage are sadly common. We’ll make sure you’re properly supported and fairly compensated.
Bicycle Accident ClaimsCycling through North Wales can be a brilliant way to get around — whether you’re commuting through town or out exploring the countryside. But when things go wrong, the consequences for cyclists can be serious. We help people who’ve been knocked off their bikes due to careless drivers, unsafe roads, or poorly designed cycle routes.
If you’ve been injured in a cycling accident, you may be able to claim for things like medical treatment, lost income, damage to your bike, and the emotional impact of what happened. Even at low speeds, crashes can cause serious harm, from broken bones to head injuries, and it’s only right that you get the support you need to recover.
E-scooter Accident ClaimsAs e-scooters become more common in towns and cities across North Wales, so do the risks that come with them. Accidents can happen quickly, whether it’s due to a pothole, an unexpected car door, or a pedestrian stepping out without warning. If you’ve been injured while riding an e-scooter, we can help you claim for medical expenses, lost earnings, and the cost of replacing your equipment.
E-scooters are fast, quiet, and easy to miss, which makes collisions more likely — especially in busy areas or on poorly maintained roads. Riders are often left with cuts, bruises, or more serious injuries like fractures or head trauma. Our team will guide you through the claims process and make sure you get the compensation you deserve.
No matter how your incident happened, our North Wales bike accident solicitors are here to support you. We’ll explain your options clearly, handle the legal side of things, and work to secure the full compensation you’re owed — so you can focus on moving forward.
We’ve designed our claims process to be clear, stress-free, and built around you. Here’s how it works:
It starts with a conversation. We’ll listen to what happened, talk you through your options, and offer honest legal advice — all with no cost or obligation.
If you decide to move forward, we’ll start collecting the evidence. That includes things like accident reports, medical records, and witness statements to help build a strong case on your behalf.
Our team takes care of the paperwork and submits your claim to the right people, making sure nothing is missed and everything moves as smoothly as possible.
We’ll deal with the insurers and any other parties involved, working to secure a fair settlement that reflects the full impact of your injuries and losses.
If you need rehabilitation or further support, we’ll connect you with trusted providers. And if the person who caused your accident was uninsured or can’t be identified, we can still help you claim through the Motor Insurers' Bureau (MIB).
Throughout your claim, our priority is to make things easier for you — taking care of the legal side so you can focus on getting better.
If you’ve been injured in a motorbike, bicycle, or e-scooter accident that wasn’t your fault, there’s a strong chance you can make a claim. The rules aren’t as complicated as they might seem — here’s what usually matters:
1. Someone else was to blame
This could be a careless driver, a poorly maintained road, or even a local authority that failed to fix a known hazard.
2. The accident happened within the last three years
Most claims need to be made within three years of the incident, though there are some exceptions depending on your situation.
3. You were injured
Whether you suffered cuts and bruises or more serious injuries, you could be entitled to compensation for the physical and emotional toll — plus any financial losses.
Even in cases where the driver can’t be identified or doesn’t have insurance, you may still be able to claim through the Motor Insurers' Bureau (MIB). We’ll guide you through that process too.
Still unsure? That’s exactly what we’re here for. Our North Wales team offers free, friendly advice to help you understand your options. No pressure — just straight answers.
Despite efforts to improve road safety, serious accidents continue to happen far too often across North Wales.
In 2023, North Wales recorded 89 motorcyclists who were either killed or seriously injured (KSI), marking a 3.4% increase compared to the previous year.
This figure is also 24% higher than in 2021 and 21% higher than in 2019. Notably, there were eight motorcyclist fatalities in 2023, representing a 33% increase from the prior year.
Despite ongoing road safety campaigns, motorcycle casualties continue to rise, both in numbers and in proportion to overall injuries. In 2023, motorcyclists accounted for 32% of all people killed or seriously injured (KSI) in the region — a 5% increase compared to the previous year. That figure is the highest it’s been since 2020, and the trend shows no signs of slowing.
These statistics reflect a worrying pattern that puts riders at continued risk, especially on the region’s rural roads where speed and visibility can quickly turn minor mistakes into fatal consequences.
Choosing to make a legal claim can feel daunting. That’s why we offer a no win, no fee agreement to give you peace of mind from the very beginning. Under this arrangement, you do not need to pay any legal fees upfront. If your case is not successful, you won’t be charged for the work we’ve carried out. This ensures that you can seek justice without the worry of financial risk or hidden expenses, even if the claim doesn’t result in compensation.
Should your claim be successful, a success fee will be deducted from the final compensation award. This fee is agreed with you before we begin the process and is calculated as a percentage of the total amount recovered. We will explain everything clearly at the outset, including what the success fee covers and how it is applied. Our goal is to make legal support as accessible, fair, and transparent as possible.
We know how difficult life can feel after a serious accident. Whether you're ready to begin your claim or simply want clear advice on what to do next, our team is here to help.
You may be able to claim compensation for pain and suffering, lost earnings, medical costs, damage to your vehicle, and any travel or rehabilitation expenses linked to your recovery. Every lawsuit is different, and we’ll ensure all your losses are taken into account.
The length of the process depends on the complexity of your case and whether the other party admits fault. Some straightforward claims are resolved in a few months, while more serious or disputed cases can take longer. We'll keep you informed at every stage and work to move things forward as quickly as possible.
In most cases, no. The majority of accident claims are settled out of court through negotiation. However, if your case does go to court, we’ll guide you through the process and represent you throughout to make sure you’re fully supported.
The amount varies depending on the severity of your injuries, how they’ve affected your daily life, and any financial losses you’ve experienced. We’ll give you an estimate based on similar cases once we’ve reviewed the details.
If you're able, report the accident, seek medical attention, and take photos of the scene, your injuries, and any damage. Try to collect names of any witnesses too. These steps can strengthen your claim later on.
Yes, you may still be entitled to compensation even if you were partially responsible. This is known as a split liability claim, and your compensation would be adjusted accordingly.
Yes. If someone is unable to claim for themselves (for example, due to serious injury or because they are under 18), a close relative or guardian can usually do so on their behalf.
