How to Make A Motorcycle Crash Injury Claim or Accident Claim

How to make a claim

Making a claim couldn’t be easier. If in doubt just give us a call or drop us an email.

The more information you can give us the better, but don’t worry about it if you can’t provide everything. Unlike other sites we don’t ask you to fill in complicated forms or bureaucratic questionnaires. We prefer to keep things simple. Obviously, you can help us to help you if you by doing a bit of preparation beforehand. You might like to have a look at Mike’s blog entries about what to do if you have a crash- preferably before you actually have one! It could make all the difference to you and your claim later.

Of course, if you are here because you have already been injured and don’t have a clue what to do next, then keep it simple- just give us a call for free on 0800 052 3620. Or you can email us with your contact details and a brief outline of what your problem is and one of our team will get back to you.

Motorcycle accidents often fall into particular patterns, such as:-

  • the T-bone, where some fool pulls out into your path from a side road;

  • the side-swipe, when someone in a line of traffic you are nipping past gets bored and decides to swing out and go back home, putting you into the offside ditch;

  • the road-hog, often taking more than his fair share of the road while coming toward you on a tight bend;

  • and or course the SMIDSY, which can cover just about anything, the perpetrator giving his well-know cry of “Sorry mate- I didn’t see you!”

With all motorcycle accidents, the basic rules are simple. If you are in any fit state to do so, make sure you get:-

  • names and addresses of anyone who saw the accident;

  • the registration of any other vehicle involved, and the driver’s name and address if possible;

If you are being loaded into the ambulance, try to get someone else to get that information for you, right there and then.

Remember, it is a serious criminal offence for a driver to leave the scene of an accident without exchanging details, so don’t hesitate to call the police if you have to.
