Most motorcycle accidents involve a collision with another vehicle and are more often than not the fault of a car driver. Many cases are clear on liability and compensation can be claimed easily and often without the need to enter a court room. However it is worth noting that claiming compensation for these types of accidents is not something that should be done on your own. You need the help of an expert who has practiced personal injury law for many years and knows the best ways to approach each individual case in order to maximise damages. Of course the third party insurers will try to persuade a bike rider that he does not need representation however their interests lie with their shareholders and their driver. Any offer of settlement made directly, without legal representation, in a motorbike accident compensation claim should be viewed with a large degree of scepticism. You really do need to be represented in these cases and it is the other drivers insurers who will pay your lawyer and not you.

There are occasions when a motorbike accident compensation claim can be instigated against an owner or occupier of property or against a responsible statutory body for failing to maintain the road properly. Accidents can be due to defects in the roads and as such compensation might be claimed from the local council authority or other governing authority responsible for maintenance. Authorities employ people specifically to check for these types of defects and as such any accidents caused by them are taken very seriously. There have been successful claims involving grit or gravel accumulation and in cases of severe icing.

Compensation is divided into two categories – general damages and special damages. General damages represents items that are difficult to calculate accurately and involve a degree of assessment such as compensation for pain and suffering and special damages represents compensation for items that can be calculated accurately such as wages loss.

Calculating the damages payable for pain and suffering in a motorbike accident compensation claim is not an easy matter. The amount depends on the extent and severity of the injury and the length of time it takes for recovery. If there is not a full recovery then the long term consequences are taken into account. A judge will asses the value of pain and suffering after listening to representations from both sides and after considering previously decided cases. A judge can also be guided by his own personal experience and by recommendations from ‘The Judicial Studies Board’ which publishes guidance on assessment of damages in personal injury cases.
