Campaigns such as ‘THINK!’ highlight the fact that motorcyclists are one of our more vulnerable road users. Due to the size, vulnerability and speed of a motorcycle, riders are often left with serious injuries as a result of an accident occurring.
Motorbike accident injury claims
If a person is involved in a motorcycle accident and suffers more serious injuries, this can mean that any claim for personal injury is more complex and can take longer to settle, which is why choosing a specialist solicitor with experience in handling serious injury claims is beneficial.
If a case takes longer to settle then it means that the person has to wait longer for their compensation. For many people, who may be out of work as a result of the accident and not receiving an income or only receiving a reduced rate of income, this can mean financial hardship and an inability to meet current financial obligations. It is in this instance that a specialist personal injury solicitor may discuss interim payments.
Interim payments are payments made to a claimant in the course of their claim, which may then be deducted from the final amount of compensation at the conclusion of the claim. As these payments are often applied for once liability or fault has been admitted on a claim, it is advisable to begin a claim as soon as possible.
