Motorcycle accidents

Motorbike compensation claim lawyers

Nothing beats the freedom of the open road on a motorcycle. It’s an exciting way to travel because of the rush of the wind and the panoramic views.


However, motorcycles can be dangerous, as bike riders are much more likely to be seriously injured in crashes.


If you have suffered any type of personal injury as a result of a motorcycle accident, either as a rider or pillion passenger, you may be able to seek compensation for your pain and suffering.


Compensation payments assist in covering your medical expenses, lost wages, and any other out-of-pocket expenses. To receive a compensation payment, you need to show that you were not at fault for the accident by proving it was caused or contributed by another party. Luckily, a TPIL motorbike accident lawyer will be more than willing to help you with your claim.

No matter whether you’ve been in an accident in Brisbane, the Gold Coast, or Sunshine Coast, our motorcycle lawyers are here to help you with your compensation claim and get you the best possible compensation payout.

Motorcycle compensation claim FAQs

What are the costs of filing a compensation claim?

The costs associated with each claim may differ depending on the circumstances. Costs could include lodging forms or obtaining medical records to support your motorcycle lawsuit. Of course, if you win and receive compensation, you will be required to pay your motorcycle accident lawyer’s fees.

 

But don’t worry, legislation is in place to ensure that all of your deserved compensation does not go to your lawyer. And remember, at TPIL Lawyers, we work on a no-win, no-fee basis.

How long does it take to settle a motorcycle accident claim?

We work hard to make sure you receive the best possible compensation amount for your situation, but as every case is different, it’s difficult to give an exact timeframe.

What is the average compensation for motorcycle accidents?

Will my motorcycle accident qualify for a no-win, no-fee lawyer?

What is the claims process?

There are a few steps involved in a motorbike accident claim. We’ve listed them out for you to act as a guide and help make the situation seem less complicated.

 

1. Report the accident and gather evidence

Any time a motorcycle accident results in injury or death, it must be reported to the police. It’s best to do this straight away, otherwise, the accident must be reported within 28 days. Make sure you take note of the reference number, as this will help your compensation claim.

 

All licensed drivers in Queensland are required to have Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance, so be sure to grab the details and registration of the other driver involved in the accident.

 

2. Take photos and videos
Any visual evidence of the accident scene will prove invaluable to your claim. If you’re able to do so, document the scene by taking photos or videos of anything that can be used as evidence. Details such as road conditions and lighting can really help your motorcycle accident claim.


3. Seek medical attention

It’s important that you receive medical treatment from a healthcare provider as soon as you possibly can after the accident occurs. Not all injuries appear straight away, and some serious injuries take time to fully develop. Early medical treatment will allow you to know whether any future or ongoing treatment or care is required – which will ultimately help you with your compensation claim.

 

Make sure you keep all medical records and receipts. These will benefit you later on in the claims process.


4. Notify your insurer

To officially start the claim process, you must contact your insurer to let them know about the accident and your intention to claim compensation. You will need to complete a claim form and provide any supporting documentation – this is where the evidence you may have gathered and any medical records you have kept will come in handy for your case.

 

A motorbike accident lawyer will be able to help ensure that you complete all sections of the form correctly. Compensation claims are known for being extremely complex, and having the extra assistance will help give your claim the best chance of success. At TPIL, we can take care of the paperwork for you, and refer medical professionals who specialise in helping motorcycle accident victims.


5. Consult with a motorcycle accident lawyer

Seeking the help of an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer will give you the best chance to receive the compensation you deserve. Personal injury lawyers will help you navigate the claims process, taking the pressure and stress off of yourself so you can focus on your recovery from the accident.

How long do I have to make a motorcycle accident claim?

Depending on the type of motorcycle accident claim, you have 2 options. If you want to claim personal injury compensation, you must submit your claim within 3 years of the accident with a motorbike accident lawyer. If your motorcycle was damaged and you would like to make a claim for damages, you have 6 years to make your claim.

Though these timeframes seem long, it’s best to begin your claim immediately to ensure that witness statements and any evidence are as fresh as possible.

 

Feel free to contact us, chat online, or call us on 1800 958 498 and speak to a specialist motorcycle lawyer to help with any questions you may have or discuss motorcycle injury claim examples. You can also use our compensation payout calculator to get a better understanding of what you may be entitled to.

Can I claim compensation for a single-vehicle accident?

There are some circumstances that will allow you to claim compensation for a motorcycle accident that does not involve another vehicle. For example, if you were thrown from your motorcycle due to external factors (such as a defective road surface) you could be eligible to make a claim.

 

There’s no harm in having an obligation-free consultation with one of our experienced lawyers to discuss the specifics of your case and how we can help you.
