According to statistics from the Department of Transport, 6,828 people were involved in motorbike accidents in 2012.
Whilst some of these were minor, some were also much more serious and may have resulted in a loss of income or independence as well as the need to make lifestyle changes.
Apart from any physical injuries, which may occur as a result of an accident, there may also be emotional or psychological consequences.
Am I Entitled to Compensation?
If you have been involved in an accident which was not your fault, seeking compensation is not a sign of the “litigation culture” but is actually a legal and civil right.
The impact of an accident may be long lasting. Apart from any physical injuries an accident may also have an impact on social opportunities, and this can cause stress, anxiety or depression. Receiving compensation can enable you to cope with this and achieve a better quality of life.
If you have suffered injuries, whether emotional or physical, a compensation award can help you to pay for the necessary services (e.g. counselling, or physiotherapy) which will enable you to recover from your accident. If you are unable to work or have lost pay as a result of the accident, the compensation should cover the resulting financial loss.
