What Documentation Is Needed To Make A Motorcycle Injury Claim?

You need not worry about having to gather lots of documentation together before you make an enquiry about your accident or injury claim.

We will take care of the paperwork that is required to get your claim underway once we have carried out an initial consultation with yourself.

If we need to obtain any medical reports for your claim, we will make arrangements for these to be produced.

If we need more documents from you throughout the course of your claim, we will get in touch with you and ask for the required documentation.

How Long Does A Motorcycle Accident Claim Take To Settle?

We aim to settle all claims as quickly as possible. The amount of compensation you receive depends on the injury you have received and importantly the length of time for which the injury will affect you.

If the defendant admits responsibility for your accident at the outset, your claim may settle within 6 months although this is not always the case.

Steps We May Have To Take

Do please take into account however that there may be steps involved which inevitably take time, such as:

• Carrying out investigations which may take several months
• Obtaining medical evidence. We will not ask you to attend a medical examination immediately after the accident as it may be that the full extent of your injuries cannot be accurately assessed until several months after the accident
• We may have to wait until you have recovered sufficiently from your injuries before being in a position to value your claim.

If the defendant does not accept responsibility for your accident then, assuming the evidence to support your claim is strong enough, Court proceedings may have to be issued.

Although only a very small percentage of this type of case ever comes to trial, it is not unknown for cases to take up to a year or so from the commencement of Court proceedings to conclude.

However, even if proceedings are issued, it is always open to the defendant to make an offer of settlement at any point during your claim.

Please remember that, in spite of all the above possibilities, we will always be doing everything that we can to ensure that your claim is settled in the shortest time possible.

What If I Lose My Claim?

All cases are taken on a ‘no-win, no-fee’* basis. This means that if the case is lost you don’t pay a penny.

* In limited circumstances, fees may be charged where your claim is not successful and these specific limited circumstances are set out in our No Win No fee Agreement. In addition, if you fail to attend a medical appointment arranged for you, the Doctor may charge a non-attendance fee.
