Motorcyclists are among the most vulnerable road users. When accidents happen, they often result in serious injury – even at low speeds. If you’ve been involved in a motorcycle accident that wasn’t your fault, you may be entitled to compensation.

At Inson Legal, I specialise in supporting injured riders in and around Bolton, Greater Manchester and the North West. As a solicitor with a full motorcycle licence, I understand the risks riders face every day on the road – and I know how to fight for the compensation you deserve.

I work on a No Win No Fee basis, meaning there’s no financial up front costs in starting your claim.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents often happen due to the carelessness or inattention of other road users. Common scenarios include:

• Drivers failing to see motorcyclists at junctions or when changing lanes

• Cars pulling out suddenly, without checking mirrors or blind spots

• Rear-end collisions when filtering or queuing in traffic

• Poor road conditions, including potholes or loose gravel

• Drivers misjudging distance or speed when overtaking or turning

• Dooring accidents, where a car door is opened into your path

• Defective road signage or unclear road markings

As a rider myself, I understand how quickly a situation can become dangerous – and how frustrating it is when blame is unfairly placed on the motorcyclist. I’ll help ensure your side is heard.

Legal Framework for Motorbike Accident Claims

As a vulnerable road user, your claim will start under Pre-Action Protocol for Low Value Personal Injury Claims in Road Traffic Accidents from 31 July 2013 or if the claim is worth over £25,000, the Pre-Action Protocol for Personal Injury Claims.

All pre-action protocols encourage early communication and fair settlement without the need for court proceedings.

It can be difficult figuring out which protocol is best for your claim but I can advise you on the best route for your case.

The Motorbike Accident Claims Process

Here’s how the typical motorbike claim process works when you instruct Inson Legal:

1. Initial Consultation
   I’ll discuss the circumstances of the accident, who was at fault, and whether your claim qualifies for No Win No Fee.

2. Gathering Evidence
   We’ll obtain witness statements, police reports, dashcam footage, and photographs where available to support your claim.

3. The Claim is transmitted to the Defendant insurer on the portal.
   A formal Claims Notification Form is sent to the at-fault driver’s insurer, setting out the basis of your claim.

4. Liability Response
   The insurer has 1 business day to acknowledge and up to 3 weeks to investigate and provide a Response. This will either admit or deny liability.

5. Medical Evidence
   I’ll arrange an independent medical examination to assess the impact of your injuries and future recovery needs.

6. Negotiation and Settlement
   Once medical evidence is complete, I’ll begin negotiating a fair settlement by submitting a Settlement Pack on the portal. Most claims settle without going to court.

7. Court Proceedings (if necessary)
   If liability is denied or a fair settlement isn’t reached, I can issue court proceedings and represent you through the litigation process.
