Motorbike accidents and factors which determine compensation amount

If you have been unfortunate enough to suffer a non-fault road traffic accident as a motorcyclist, you should contact a motorbike accident lawyer.

By getting in touch with a personal injury solicitor who specialises in the field of motorbike crash-related injuries, you are making sure that the legal professional representing you has successfully dealt with similar claims before and will have a good awareness of what type of settlement you might gain.

Your liability

If you are partly liable for your accident then the amount of compensation you can claim for your injuries will be reduced, however, if you are not at fault you stand to gain more from bringing a case against the liable party.

Your injuries

Depending on the severity of your injuries you will be offered a smaller or larger settlement.

For example, if you have sustained a minor shoulder injury which will not cause you further discomfort when it has healed, you are likely to receive around £4,500.

However, minor brain damage is viewed as much more severe in comparison and is likely to result in compensation of £10,000 to £28,250.

Your personal circumstance

Your personal circumstance is always taken into account when compensation is being calculated.

If you have any dependants then you may find that the remuneration you gain is larger since the money will not only serve to look after you while you recover but other members of your family too.

The amount of money you would have earned during your recovery time, or throughout the rest of your life if you have been left unable to return to employment, will also be taken into account when a settlement is being agreed upon.
