“I was initially in two minds whether to go for a claim and had no experience in this area but from the start Helen was extremely helpful and reassuring.  Please pass my thanks on to Nathan, Nadine and Emma too for their great service and support.  I will certainly recommend you guys.  Thanks again Helen, I really appreciate it.”

Before we continue though, it is worth making sure that you are eligible to make a claim in the first place:

In A Car-Bike Accident, Who Is At Fault?

The factor that determines who is at fault in a car-bike accident is which party was negligent. Did the driver neglect to check their mirror? Did they pull out at a crossing without looking? Were they looking at their mobile phone rather than the road?

In short, did they drive without due care and attention? If they did, and this resulted in them causing a car-bike accident, then they are clearly at fault. You are likely to be able to make a successful claim.

Every case is unique though. Sometimes the fault may lie at least partially with both parties. But even then it may be possible to make a claim.

If you are in any doubt as to whether you can make a claim following a bike accident, it is always worth reaching out to tell your story to an expert. They can confirm the strength of your case and offer advice as to who the law is likely to view as being at fault.

Who To Go To With Bike Accident Claims

The first person you speak with about any bike accident claim should be a solicitor specialising in this niche field of law.

Grieves Solicitors, for instance, gives you all the information, support, and advice you need at this early stage in the process, including things like:

1. Free legal advice – if you’re not sure how to claim compensation or whether you can or should, most solicitors will offer a free initial consultation and guidance.
2. Decades of experience to call on – at Grieves Solicitors, for instance, we have over 76 years of legal experience to deploy on your behalf. We are likely to have seen a case just like yours before, so we can advise you on how to proceed and succeed.
3. A no-win, no-fee structure – the last thing you will want at a difficult time like this is having to spend more money to make a claim. A no-win, no-fee structure ensures you have nothing to pay upfront. Any legal fees are paid out of the compensation you receive.
4. The ability to negotiate and avoid court – most bike accident claims don’t go to court. This is because lawyers on both sides understand the strength of their claims. It is only when evidence is very unclear that there may be a need to let the courts decide.
5. Guidance on how to collect evidence and make your case – a successful bike accident compensation claim rests on the strength of evidence. A specialist solicitor will help you collect the evidence you need to get the compensation you deserve.
