In short, yes. Motorcycle riders injured in a road accident are eligible to make an MVA claim.

While there are strict timelines around when you need to make a claim, processing a claim can take time – how much time is dependent on a variety of factors, but primarily on your injuries, how complex the injuries are and what kind of treatment they require now and ongoing.

Regarding the amount you could potentially receive from a claim, this is dependent on various factors, including your injuries, age, loss of earnings, need for care both now and in the future, out-of-pocket expenses, and possible future expenses such as surgery.

Generally, the more serious your injury and the greater the impact on your life, the more you’ll receive in compensation. To understand this more fully, seeking expert medical advice will help assess the impact of your injuries on your future work and life. When seeking compensation, you may be eligible to claim damages, compensation for lost wages and medical expenses, cover the cost of rehabilitation or ongoing treatment, or even receive weekly payments.

As your personal injury lawyers, we need as much information as possible to put evidence for your case together to support your claim. To ensure you get the best outcome from your claim, you must seek legal advice before accepting any lump-sum payment from an insurer.

The overall legal fees for services (paid after the case from the compensation awarded) will depend on the amount of work required to resolve your claim.
