Motorbike Injury Claims

Motorcyclists & scooter riders have a higher risk of being seriously injured following an accident. They are vulnerable road users which don’t have the luxury of a seatbelt or a vehicle to protect them, leaving them fully exposed to an impact.

This can result in the rider coming off the bike and in worst cases, being hurled through the air and landing on the ground or a car bonnet. Sometimes the momentum can leave them scraping along the floor for a considerable distance. This is why collisions on a motorcycle can result in serious catastrophic injuries, or even worse, death.

Legal Assist has a specialist panel of motorcycle injury lawyers that are dedicated to helping injured claimants and bereaved family members receive the compensation they are entitled to.

Pedestrian and Cyclist Injury Claims

Road traffic accidents often feature innocent pedestrians walking by and have been involved in a collision with a vehicle. It could have been whilst crossing the road, at a pedestrian crossing or whilst on the pavement.

Cyclists are often hit whilst travelling in a cycle lane, turning at junctions or whilst proceeding correctly and a vehicle is turning left. Cyclists are often harder to see which means there’s a higher chance of a collision.

Accidents involving pedestrians and cyclists poses a higher risk for serious or fatal injuries. In luckier cases, victims have been left shaken up with only a few cuts, grazes and bruises.

If you or a loved one have had an accident as a pedestrian or cyclist, we would like to hear about it. Our panel of solicitors are experienced in handling these cases and may be able to assist you in making a claim for compensation.
