Losing a loved one in a fatal motorcycle accident is one of the most devastating experiences a family can face. No amount of money can ever replace the person who has been lost, but in Scotland, the law recognises the right of families to seek compensation to provide financial security after such a tragedy.
Michelle and Katy’s Story
In this video, Michelle Thorne and her daughter Katy share the heartbreak and devastation they experienced after losing Dave, a much-loved husband and father, in a motorcycle collision on the A96. A driver pulled straight across his path at a junction, leaving the family devastated and facing an uncertain future.
Support through the Legal process
