Am I out of time to claim?
I had an accident in August 2022 caused by a hit and run driver. My fractures healed but I have ongoing psychological issues – my wife says my character has really changed. I now know that I could have claimed compensation for my injuries and financial losses but when I spoke to my then insurance […]
Can I claim the cost of surgery?
I had a bike accident two and half years ago. It is looking like my claim is not far from completion and my solicitor has sent my financial losses, past and future, to the other side’s legal team with a list of expenses. I was advised to claim for the private cost of wrist fusion […]
Should I have worked while injured?
I was knocked off my bike in summer 2025 when a car pulled out into my path. I wasn’t able to work for 3 months. I had to see a medical expert instructed by the third party insurer. He has written in his report that it was not reasonable for me to be off work […]
Why did my insurance go up?
I have held fully comprehensive motorcycle insurance for many years. Unfortunately, I had an accident in September when a post office van pulled out across my path.

Unhappy with my insurance‑appointed solicitor
Hi Andrew. I have lost patience with the law firm my insurance company provided to me to use after my accident in May last year. They visited me in hospital following my accident and I agreed to instruct them without ever thinking to do my own research on which law firm to use. I hardly […]
My child was hurt but no solicitor will take the case
I was involved in a road traffic accident last summer. I was riding my motorcycle with my 16 year old son as a pillion passenger. A car swerved into our path.

I was caught speeding twice
I have just received 2 Notices of Intended Prosecutions for speeding on my Fazer. The documents state that I was recorded at 36mph and 37mph in a 30mph zone on the same road. They say I was caught 2 minutes apart, so there must have been two cameras positioned along the same road. I was […]
Can they limit my pension claim?
I was involved in an accident last summer, when I was knocked off my BMW R1200, and I am claiming compensation. I spent my career in the army but had to be medically discharged as a result of the leg injuries suffered in the accident. It now seems that I will miss out on a […]
I was commuting without commuting cover
Last October I was riding home from my office when a car I was overtaking clipped me causing me to come off. I had various injuries but luckily nothing too serious. I agreed to accept 1/3 of the blame as I was going a little fast and the car was indicating right. However, the problem […]
Can I claim for a pothole accident?
In October I was thrown from my bike when my front wheel hit a pothole. I fractured my shoulder and some ribs and need to take 3 weeks off work. I wrote to the council with a complaint and requesting compensation but they have denied liability. There were potholes everywhere and I think the one […]
MIB rejected my claim
I was riding my Honda PCX125 when I was the victim of a hit and run accident. I was knocked off by a Renault Kangoo, which then left the scene. I had various injuries and my bike was written off. I had to take 6 weeks off work. I lodged a compensation claim with the […]
Taken out by a u-turn
Last September I was riding to work as doctor in Croydon. I saw that there was the usual queue of slow moving traffic so I went to filter by on the right as I have always done. I would guess my speed was around 15mph and the limit for the road was 30mph. There were […]
Knocked off by a skater
Last September I was riding to work in Cardiff along a road consisting of a single lane in each direction, with pavements on both sides and a speed limit of 30mph. I was riding at around 25–30mph. 2 school boys were on skateboards on the pavement on my side of the road. All of a […]
I was filmed by the insurance company
I am pursuing a compensation claim through solicitors for multiple fracture injuries I sustained in a motorbike accident in 2024. I was unable to work for nearly a year while recovering.

Should I have accepted a hire bike?
I was involved in an accident last year where my motorcycle was hit from behind at a junction. It took two months for repairs to be completed, after which my bike was returned to me. During that time, my insurer provided me with a replacement bike and assured me that I would not have to […]
I’m depressed after the accident
I had a nasty motorbike accident in August 2024. My doctor has advised that I’ve recovered as much as can reasonably be expected from my physical injuries. However, since the accident, my mental health has declined. I’ve never previously experienced mental health issues, but I now often feel tearful, low, and depressed and my sleep […]
I was rear-end shunted
I am currently pursuing a personal injury claim after my bike was struck from behind by a transit van. Although this might seem straightforward, my solicitor has informed me that the driver is disputing liability and claims that I am at fault. At the time of the accident, I was approaching a junction and intended […]
My helmet came off
I was involved in a motorcycle accident in the autumn when a car struck me while I was filtering through traffic. I am currently pursuing a personal injury claim and the other party’s insurer has asked whether I was wearing a helmet, as I sustained facial as well as other injuries. They suggest that my […]
My solicitor missed the deadline…
I am concerned that my solicitor may not be being fully transparent with me. I have a personal injury claim that has been ongoing since January 2023. The solicitor, who was appointed by my insurer, has recently informed me that they failed to issue the claim at court within the required time limit. They have […]
