    How Much Compensation Can I Earn From Motorbike Accidents?

    All personal injury cases are unique and so the amount of compensation that is awarded in each case is also unique. The amount of compensation that is awarded is determined by looking at two distinct factors – general damages and special damages.

    GENERAL DAMAGES

    The pain and suffering that your injuries have caused is the main factor that is used to determine how much compensation you are owed. This will usually be determined by undergoing a medical examination, from which a report is created that outlines the length of time the injuries will take to heal as well as their severity.

    Our compensation calculator gives an indication of how much you might be entitled to based upon your injuries. Jefferies Solicitors will take these different details relating to your injury into account when calculating how much compensation you should be awarded, which will then be put forward to the opposing side and the judge.

    SPECIAL DAMAGES

    However, compensation also takes into account any financial losses that you might have suffered as a result of your injuries, such as a loss of earnings due to being unable to return to work. If you have had to pay for treatment or travel to treatment, compensation may also be able to cover this as well. Therefore, you should keep any receipts or other documents that help to outline the extent of your financial losses, as caused by your accident/injuries.

    Except for children, there is a three-year time limit on making a personal injury claim. This time limit begins from the date that the accident occurred. You should contact a personal injury solicitor as soon as possible to assess your case.

    How Long Until I Recieve The Compensation?

    Every motorbike accident claim is different and some take longer than others.

    Where the claim is likely to be contested or involves serious injuries, your motorcycle injury lawyer will often make applications for an interim payment to make sure your financial needs are covered in the meantime.

    At Jefferies, we will take care of everything for you, making the claims process simple and stress-free so that you can concentrate on your recovery.
