At the last count there were one million full motorcycle licence holders in the UK. No matter how careful you are on the road, there will always be others who are not as alert as you...and it is these people that cause accidents. Statistics prove that unfortunately more than 30,000 motorcycle riders will be involved in an accident on our roads throughout the next year. Research also shows that 62% of accidents are caused by other road users - usually a car driver simply not seeing the motorcycle.
Coles Miller Claims UK is one of the leading firm of solicitors specialising in accident claims. We have a Motorcycle Accidents Division where a dedicated team of professional personal injury experts deal exclusively in pursuing compensation claims arising from motorbike accidents. Our team has extensive experience in motorcycle accident claims, achieving compensation against car drivers, motorbike riders, other road users and local authorities. Keen bikers themselves, they know the issues you face and with their knowledge and enthusiasm for motorcycles, they are the ideal team to advise bikers on pursuing a claim.
The team is led by Philip Sherwood who has over 16 years experience in personal injury compensation claims. Being an avid biker, he has owned over 20 motorbikes in the last 20 years ranging from 50cc to 1200cc. He currently owns a Suzuki GSXR 1000 and a Honda XR 600. He has attended Donnington, Thruxton and Brands Hatch for Grand Prix and British and World Superbikes racing, as well as many other venues for alternative types of motorcycle sport such Hill Climb, Beech Racing and Motorcross.
The majority of the motorcycle accident compensation claims that we deal with involve a collision with a vehicle, but motorbike riders are also vulnerable to accidents caused by defects on the road surface such as road damage, mud, oil, or other spillages on the road. In such cases, a claim for motorbike accident compensation may lie against the party responsible for the spillage (e.g. building contractor) or the local authority responsible for maintaining the road. See our Types of Motorcycle Accidents page.
