Motorcyclists are the most vulnerable users on the road. Without the protection of a chassis, injuries are often severe. Unfortunately, bikers also face prejudice from insurers who automatically assume they were speeding. We fight your corner to prove the other driver was at fault.

Common Motorcycle Accidents

"SMIDSY"

"Sorry Mate I Didn't See You." Drivers pulling out of junctions into your path.

Filtering

Cars changing lanes or opening doors while you are legally filtering through traffic.

Road Surface

Loss of control due to diesel spills, mud, or potholes (Claims against the Council/Highways).

Roundabouts

Drivers failing to give way or cutting across your lane on a roundabout.

Fighting "Biker Bias"

Insurance companies often try to argue "Contributory Negligence" (e.g., claiming you were speeding). Our solicitors are experts in analyzing skid marks, bike damage, and CCTV to prove you were riding responsibly.

Don't bin your damaged kit!

Your helmet, leathers, gloves, and boots are expensive. We claim for the full replacement cost of any kit damaged in the crash. Keep them as evidence, do not throw them away.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is filtering legal?

Yes. Filtering is legal in the UK, provided it is done safely. If a driver changes lanes without looking and hits you while you are filtering, they are usually liable.

Can I claim if the driver didn't stop?

Yes. If it was a "Hit and Run", we submit a claim to the Motor Insurers' Bureau (MIB). They act as the insurer for untraced drivers.

My pillion passenger was injured. Can they claim?

Yes. A pillion passenger is an innocent party. They can claim against the driver of the other vehicle, or against your insurance if you were deemed at fault.
