We're rated‘Excellent’Whilst the circumstances of every motorcycle accident are different, there are certain common things that you can claim compensation for as long as the accident wasn’t your fault. The compensation will usually fall into two different categories. These are General Damages and Special Damages.
General Damages usually covers things like:
Special Damages will compensate you for your financial losses such as:
Special Damages are easier to put a value on because we can show how much all of these items cost. General Damages are not so straightforward.
