Making a Motorcycle Accident Claim
In order to make a motorcycle accident claim your solicitor will require evidence to prove liability of the other party and support your claim. Motorcycle accidents are often caused as a result of other drivers failing to leave enough space for motorcycle users or because they do not take account of the fact that motorcycle users are less protected that other types of road users. Your solicitor will ask you questions about your accident in order to determine what kind of evidence is required to support your claim. Evidence required may include:
- Medical reports
- Statements from any witnesses to the accident
- Police reports
- Evidence of loss of earnings
- Receipts for any associated costs
These are just examples of some of the things your solicitor will use to ensure you receive the maximum compensation owed to you. Your expert solicitor will be able to advise you more fully on all of the ways in which you should be compensated and the evidence required to support your claim.
