Motorbike Compensation Claims

Have you been injured in a motorbike accident that was not your fault? If so it is highly likely that you are entitled to financial compensation, intended to help you cover the costs of repairs to your motorbike, medical fees and bills incurred during a period spent out of work.

Payouts in motorbike accident compensation claims vary depending on the severity of the personal injury sustained. Below is a list of common injuries and example payouts awarded for these injuries:

Head Injuries

Despite the fact that motorcyclists wear protective helmets, head injuries are a common outcome of many types of motorbike accidents. Head injuries can cause anything from relatively minor yet long-lasting pain to severe brain damage. Typical payout amounts include:

• Minor head injuries: £1,400 - £9,000
• Minor brain damage: £1,000 - £6,500
• Severe brain injury: £145,000 – 205,000
• Moderate injuries affecting sight: £33,000 - £55,000

Leg Injuries

Leg injuries are a similarly common result of motorbike accidents. There are several major bones in the leg, which are vulnerable to severe injury in a motorbike accident – the amount you are eligible to claim will depend entirely upon the extent of your injuries:

• Minor leg injuries: £4,750 or less
• Moderate leg injuries: £14,500 - £20,000
• Severe leg Injuries: £50,000 - £140,000

Back Injuries

When determining the amount of compensation you are eligible to receive for back injuries sustained in a motorbike accident, UK courts will take into account the severity of the injuries, the pain and suffering experienced as a result of the injury and any loss of wages:

• Minor back injury: £2,700 or less
• Moderate back injury: £6,500 - £20,000
• Severe back injury: £20,000 - £87,500

Wrist, Elbow and Hand Injuries

Injuries to the forearm and shoulder can be extremely painful, and have the potential to result in a long-term disability:

• Moderate wrist injuries: £5,000 - £12,750
• Severe hand injuries: £32,000 - £105,000
• Minor elbow injuries: £6,750 or less
