Motorcycle Accident Compensation Claim Process
If you have suffered injury in a motorcycle accident due to the fault of another, you may have a personal injury compensation claim. You, or a loved one, must have been injured due to the negligence of another.
The type and cause of the motorcycle injury may vary greatly depending on the circumstances of your case. Motorcycle Law Scotland will assess your prospects of success at the outset and will provide you with clear options as to how best recover the maximum monetary value for your claim for motorcycle accident compensation in the shortest possible time.
Once you've given Motorcycle Law Scotland the go-ahead to proceed with your claim, we will consider the evidence and fully investigate your case. Photographs, eyewitness accounts and police reports will be taken into consideration and we might also ask you to undergo a medical examination so we can determine the extent of any injuries or long term damage you may have sustained in the accident.
Claim Submission and Valuation Process
At the outset, we will submit a claim to the party at fault or their insurance company detailing your case against them and requesting they admit liability.
If liability is admitted, we will value your claim based on the injuries sustained, damage to your motorcycle and motorcycle equipment, any expenses incurred and loss of income. We will submit our valuation of your claim to your opponent’s insurance company. We will invite them to make an offer based on our assessment of your claim.
Offer Evaluation and Court Proceedings
When an offer is received, we will provide you with clear advice on whether to accept or reject the offer. If we feel the offer is too low, we will recommend that you raise proceedings in court, at no cost or risk to you.
If liability is disputed and we consider you have at least a 50% prospect of success, we will raise proceedings in court which, thanks to our ‘no win no fee’ policy, would be undertaken at no cost or risk to you.
Secondary Victims
If you've witnessed a traumatic accident, or near-miss accident, of a loved one and have had to seek medical advice on your mental health following the accident, then we may be able to help you.
The Timescales
At Motorcycle Law Scotland, we will deal with your claim efficiently and effectively and in the shortest possible time without risking the success of your case or the value of your claim.
No Financial Risk
Our experienced motorcycling solicitors will assess your case and will advise on the prospects of success. The advantage to you is that we will accept the risk. This means that we won’t ask you for any payment upfront. We will fund your case and, in the unlikely event you are unsuccessful, you walk away with nothing to pay.
