Our pillion passenger accident claims expertise
Motorbike passenger claim liability
In the first stage of the claims process, your solicitor will draft a letter of claim, setting out the injuries sustained, and the basis of the claim. The defendant will need to either accept liability for causing the accident, contest liability, or partly admit blame.
Where responsibility is disputed, your solicitor will proceed to investigate the circumstances of the accident, so that they can build the best possible case. Rest assured, we have worked on many passenger injury cases, including those where liability is disputed.
Most of the time, these claims are brought against another road user who caused the accident. However, we can also support those who, unfortunately, need to claim against the motorcycle rider who was carrying them as a passenger. In this situation, you would usually bring a claim against both parties simultaneously.
Our pillion passenger accident solicitors can explain the processes to you carefully, and proceed to build a robust claim.
Pillion rider damages
When working on your case, your pillion passenger accident claim solicitor is tasked with determining how much you will receive in damages.
In motorbike pillion accidents, as with other road accident cases, generally the more serious your injuries are, the higher the damages you will receive. In typical motorcycle passenger accident cases, damages might include pain, suffering and loss of amenity. You may also receive compensation to cover incurred financial losses, such as lost earnings, as a result of your accident.
Medical evidence
As part of your passenger injury claim, it’s necessary to gather medical evidence, to prove your injuries. You will be required to see an independent medical expert who will create a report that details your injuries.
By having a full medical assessment, it is easier for your solicitor to build a stronger pillion passenger accident claim. At this stage, they will liaise with medical experts, to ensure that the medical report of your injuries is as detailed and accurate as possible.
Settling your claim
Bikelawyer will present your full claim to the defendant, and begin the process of settlement negotiations.
Usually, we are able to settle claims out of Court, however, in cases where that isn’t possible, we support can clients through the necessary Court processes.
