Motorcycle accident liability
After a letter of claim is served in the wake of a motorcycle accident, the responsible party will set out their position on liability. They may accept full liability or partial liability, alleging that you were also partly at fault for the motorcycle accident.
In cases where liability is disputed or partially disputed, our motorcycle accident solicitors will take the time to carefully assess the circumstances surrounding the accident. This is likely to include gaining access the police reports, witness accounts and any other relevant evidence.
Our expertise in handling bike accidents in London means that we are well positioned to help you build a robust case that is designed to secure the best possible outcome.
Quantum – or “how much”
The amount of compensation you are able to access for a motorcycle accident in London is likely to be a key concern. Any compensation you are awarded will be used to cover any pain, suffering and loss of amenity (not being able to do the things you could before). Compensation for direct financial losses caused by the accident could also be a factor.
The list of damages that could be included following a motorcycle accident is extensive and our specialist motorcycle solicitors serving London will be able to provide detailed advice on what will be possible in your circumstances.
Rehabilitation
In cases of disputed liability, our solicitors will often get the defendant’s insurer to pay for private rehabilitation. This is only usually possible as paying for rehabilitation from the outset of a case, rather than later on in the claims process, is often much cheaper for the insurer.
Regardless, the importance of rehabilitation following a motorcycle accident is something our solicitors are keenly aware of and, as such, we will take every step to ensure that you access the treatment and support you need to help you recover.
Medical evidence
Medical evidence is crucial for any motorcycle accident claim. This will often mean seeing an independent medical expert to provide a report which details your injuries.
Depending on the nature of your injuries, various experts may be required to provide their reports, such as orthopaedic surgeons and neurology experts.
To build a successful claim, medical evidence is critical, as it confirms that your injuries have been properly documented.
Offers
Settlement negotiations for a bike accident in London will often take place after a claim has been presented to the defendant.
After evidence is compiled and a round of offers have taken place, a case can often be settled quickly and with the maximum possible compensation.
Do motorcycle accident claims in London go to court?
Motorcycle accident claims can often be resolved without the need for court proceedings, though the possibility cannot be ruled out altogether. Most cases can be resolved through negotiations outside of court.
Where a comprehensive case is built and evidence is properly prepared, it is often not in the defendant insurer’s interest to incur the costs of taking a claim to trial. In many cases, it is simply more efficient and cost-effective to reach a settlement.
No win no fee
At Bikelawyer, it is our firm believe that everyone should have access to the highest level of legal support, no matter their financial circumstances. For that reason, we are able to act on a ‘no win no fee’ basis. This means that you will only be required to pay legal fees if we are successful in claiming compensation on your behalf.
When you get in touch with a member of our team, you will benefit from a free claims evaluation to assess whether your case may be suitable for no win no fee funding and what options may be available to you.
