Motorcycle accident claim FAQs

Below we've put together some of our most frequently asked questions which might be helpful to understand about your motorcycle accident personal injury claim.

What is a no win no fee claim and how does it work?

A no win no fee claimmeans there won't be anything for you to pay if you lose your case. It acts as a contract between you and your motorcycle accident lawyer and is also sometimes referred to as a Conditional Fee Agreement.

These arrangements were first introduced to help those who were entitled to compensation but couldn't afford to pay for legal representation. Your solicitor will make sure all your costs are covered and you'll only pay them an agreed fee if you win your claim.


Am I eligible to make a motorcycle accident claim?

If you've been injured in a motorbike accident in the last three years where someone else was at fault, you have the right to seek compensation. Our panel of solicitors take most cases on a no win no fee basis and can help you regardless of your financial or personal circumstances.

We'll provide a fast claim assessment and if your solicitor takes on your case, it's a good sign that they're confident of winning. There are no upfront fees and you only pay if you win - this amount will be agreed upfront and is deducted from your compensation as a pre-agreed amount.

You can also claim for someone else if their injuries have left them unable to do so.


How do I start claiming for motorcycle accident compensation?

You can begin your claim in a few different ways:

  • Pick up the phone and call one of our advisors on 0800 587 0344. Our lines are open seven days a week until late and we'll give you a fast assessment of your claim.

  • Use our calculator tool for an indicative valuation of how much motorcycle accident compensation you could receive. You may even be able to continue your case online.

How does the claims process work?

Once we've agreed to take on your case, it will usually follow these steps:

  1. Your motorcycle accident lawyer will take the time to understand your story and how your injuries have affected you. They may ask for evidence such as witness details, medical records or photographs.
  2. Once they have all the information, your lawyer will contact the other party and inform them that you intend to make a claim.
  3. If the other person accepts blame, your case should be settled relatively quickly. If they don't, your lawyer will enter negotiations on your behalf.
  4. If you win your motorcycle accident claim, your lawyer will take the pre agreed amount before paying out your compensation. if you lose you won't owe a penny.

Can I make a claim online?

Yes. Other companies use their compensation calculator tool purely as a way for you to get in touch. But here at ClaimsPeople, we're different. Ours offers a genuine valuation of how much your claim could be worth, as well as letting you know if you can pursue your case entirely online.


How long will my claim take?

We'll assess your claim and let you know straight away if you have a case. However, some claims can take longer to settle than others and the timeframe can depend on a number of things, such as whether the other party accepts blame and how much evidence needs to be collected.


How much is a typical motorcycle accident compensation payout?

All motorcycle accident claims are unique, so it's hard to say what an average settlement might be. When assessing compensation, we use the 15th edition of the Judicial College Guidelines, which also inform our calculator tool.


How much will I pay my solicitor if I win?

If you win your claim, the responsible party may be required to contribute towards your legal costs. Your motorbike accident solicitor will agree with you the payment upfront with you which will be deducted from your compensation. This would include any success fee as well as the price of any policy taken out to make your claim risk-free.

Rest assured that any deductions from your settlement will be capped at a pre-agreed level. Your solicitor will explain everything at the beginning, so there'll be no nasty surprises once your case is resolved.


Do I need no win no fee insurance?

For peace of mind, we recommend taking out After the Event (ATE) insurance. It's designed to make your motorcycle accident claim risk-free by covering all the legal expenses on your behalf so that even if you lose, there's nothing for you to pay.

We'll organise this cover for you and there are no upfront costs. You only pay the premium if you win, and that comes out of the pre-agreed deductions we make from your settlement.


Is my motorcycle accident claim likely to go to court?

Most claims are settled without going to court. However, if the other party refuses to accept responsibility and an agreement cannot be reached, it may be that yours must be decided in front of a judge.

If that is the case, rest assured your motorcycle accident lawyer will take care of all the legal legwork for you.


What happens if I lose my claim?

If you are unsuccessful in claiming for motorcycle accident compensation, there'll be nothing for you to pay. That's because we take the vast majority of cases on a risk-free, no win no fee basis.
