If you make a motorcycle accident claim - you could be
entitled to claim for:
Pain and suffering (awards starting
at £1000)
Treatment costs - physiotherapy etc
Motorcycle repair costs or
replacement value - this will be subject to evidence
such as a repair estimate but usually the insurers for
the liable party will obtain an engineers report.
Loss of use - This can be a major
item that most people do not even bother claiming. You
are entitled to claim for an amount per week for the
full period that your bike is off the road and unusable.
Awards of £50-70 per week are possible.
Miscellaneous items such as loss of
earnings, out of pocket expenses will also be reclaimed.
Additional travel costs - incurred
whilst the motorbike is off the road or you are not fit
enough to ride same because of your injuries. Should you
go ahead with a claim?
