A young man from East Sussex, was riding his Ducati 749S motorbike on a main road, when a vehicle attempted a U turn across our his path, resulting in him and his motorbike colliding with the front of the vehicle. As a result of the accident our client's bike was written off, he therefore required a replacement hire motorcycle, whilst he arranged for the replacement of his bike. He also needed to be compensated for irreparable damage of his leathers and crash helmet.

He suffered personal injuries eg soft tissue injuries to his left leg, neck and upper back. Our motorbike accident team were able to able to obtain reimbursement for the cost of a hired motorbike until he had received his insurance payment.

Motorbike accidents - Did you know?


  • Motorbikes represent only 1% of all the vehicles on the roads
  • Motorbikes are involved in a staggering 19% of all accidents

Hazards on the road


Motorbikes are far more vulnerable to any kind of pot holes in the road or diesel spillages because in comparison to the kind of protection a 4-wheeled vehicle can provide a motorcyclist has to be much more aware and careful. Consequently, motorcyclists suffer far more serious injuries during an incident of any variety, but especially those of a more serious nature eg head injuries, spinal injuries and broken bones.


Personal injury


Due to the severity and frequency of the injuries suffered by motorcyclists, these types of personal injury cases have become a particular area of expertise, we have acted for many motorbike accident victims in catastrophic injury cases involving multi million pound claims for compensation.


Our motorbike accident compensation team acted for a young man when he was taken off his bike when he went through traffic lights at a junction with a car turning right. Liability was hotly disputed and finally agreed on a split basis. He sustained a fractured femur requiring a steel rod and pins.

Happily, he is now working again full time and achieved a compensation settlement of £10,500 gross.
