Common Causes of Motorbike Accidents We Handle
We assist injured motorcyclists in all types of road traffic accidents and help you obtain motorcyclist accident compensation in Scotland. Motorcyclists are considered vulnerable road users and are more likely to suffer serious injury than occupants of motor vehicles involved in car accidents.
Collisions at Junctions and Filtering Accidents
Many accidents occur because drivers either don’t see bikes when they turn, change lanes or pull out at junctions. We are often called upon to deal with claims involving filtering accidents and collisions that lead to motorbike accident injuries, broken bones and other serious injuries.
Potholes, Diesel Spills, and Poor Road Conditions
Loose gravel, diesel spills, potholes and poorly maintained roads can all lead to serious motorbike crashes. If the road was not safe due to a local authority or other organisation’s failure to create a safe driving environment, they may be liable for your accident.
Uninsured and Hit-and-Run Drivers
If the driver at fault cannot be identified or is uninsured, you may still be able to receive motorbike injury compensation in Scotland through the relevant compensation schemes. Our motorcycle injury attorneys will guide you through every stage of the claims process and ensure you are regularly updated with any and all progression.
Pillion Passenger Injury Claims
Other people at fault for the accident may be entitled to claim for compensation for the passengers who were injured on the motorbike. If the crash was the result of negligence by another vehicle or rider, you could still qualify for motorbike accident compensation in Scotland.

In most Scottish personal injury claims, you have three years from the date of the accident—or three years from the date you became aware your injuries were caused by the accident, to begin court proceedings. Making your claim as soon as possible helps preserve evidence and gives your solicitor more time to prepare a strong case.

Frequently Asked Questions About Scottish Motorcycle Claims
How much compensation will I get for a motorcycle injury?
The amount of compensation you will receive will depend on the severity of your injuries, loss of earnings, rehabilitation costs, future care requirements and the overall impact the accident has had on your life. Each motorbike accident claim is valued individually.
Can I still claim if I was partially at fault for the crash?
Yes. Under Scottish law you can claim compensation even if you were partly to blame for the accident, but your compensation may be reduced to reflect your share of the blame.
Do I need to go to a Scottish court to get my settlement?
You don’t have to go to a Scottish court to obtain your settlement. The vast majority of motorbike accident compensation claims in Scotland are settled by negotiation without the need for a hearing. Your solicitor will deal with the court proceedings (if necessary) on your behalf.
