What is a motorcycle accident?
A motorcycle accident is classed as a type of road traffic accident involving a motorcycle. In most motorcycle accidents, there is another party involved – it could be another motorist or pedestrian, for example.
What can cause a motorcycle accident?
Motorcycle accidents can have a variety of causes. However, the most common cause of motorcycle accidents is negligence – in simple terms, this means that someone else is partly to blame. Here are a few examples of negligence for context:
- Not following the rules of the road – for example, not obeying road signs
- Speeding
- Using a mobile phone or device whilst driving
If you’ve been involved in a motorcycle accident and think it was caused by negligence, then please contact us to discuss your potential claim. There are many different ways that negligence can cause motorcycle accidents, so we always advise calling our team to talk through the accident in more detail. An initial discussion about your claim with us is always free.
How long do I have to claim for a motorcycle accident?
You’ll normally have three years from the day of the accident to make a motorcycle accident injury claim. Gathering evidence and establishing liability can both take a long time, meaning you should get in touch with us as soon as possible.
This timeframe can vary slightly in certain circumstances, so we always encourage you to contact us to discuss the circumstances of your accident so we can give you the most accurate advice.
How much compensation can I get for a motorcycle accident claim?
The amount of compensation you can get for a motorcycle accident depends on a few different factors. Things such as the severity of your injuries, the damages you’ve incurred, and any loss of earnings are all taken into account when calculating how much compensation you could receive.
We’ll ensure that any damages you’ve incurred are accounted for and that you’re fairly compensated for them. Get in touch with us for an initial free discussion about your claim.

Making a motorcycle accident claim with PM Law is simple – contact our personal injury solicitors by calling 03300 562180 for a free initial discussion. Alternatively, you can complete our enquiry form and await our prompt response.
Our solicitors will always carry out their own investigations to uncover evidence that can support your claim. However, providing the following pieces of evidence will help to build a strong case:
- Camera, GoPro or dashcam footage of the accident
- Medical evidence, such as a medical report showing your injuries
- Any details of witnesses that were present at the time of the accident
Unfortunately, there is no concrete answer to this question. Each personal injury claim is different and how long it takes will depend on the circumstances of the claim.
However, establishing liability for the claim can often be a long process. If the other party isn’t willing to accept responsibility for your injury, for example, then this can make the claim go on for longer.
With our 'No Deductions' service, we represent you at no cost to you. We work on a 'No Win No Fee' basis, but we don't deduct anything from your final settlement. It is common for law firms to deduct a 'success fee' of up to 25% of the final figure. However, because most of our clients come via referrals or search engines, our marketing costs remain very low. We're therefore able to keep our overall costs low and can claim our fees back from the defendant (the person or organisation reponsible for your injuries).
There may be a small insurance premium to pay for 'After the Event' insurance, which is only payable if you win your case. This protects you from having to pay any of the defendant's legal fees. If you already have Legal Expenses Insurance in place (for example, it may already be included with your Home Insurance) then you won't need to pay for this insurance.Â
Either way, insurance premiums will be your only costs, and you won't need to pay us anything for your legal representation.Â
Depending on the circumstances of your case, your claim could go to court. It is unlikely, however, as only around 5% of all personal injury claims go to court. Â
The outcome of your claim will depend heavily on the evidence you’re able to provide. The most important pieces of evidence you can provide should:
- Show evidence of your injuries
- Show evidence that someone else is responsible for said injuries
- Show evidence of the expenses you have incurred
We may ask for other forms of evidence, but these are often the most crucial. In short, keep a record of everything you think is relevant and get the details of any witnesses if there are any.
