Given that road accidents are so common, I can normally tell you that, statistically, the average minor whiplash claim<\/a> settles for around \u00a32,500. The bracket for minor whiplash, which is where most people will be, is between \u00a31,000 – \u00a35,000.<\/p>\n

However, motorbike injuries are of course normally far worse<\/strong>.
\n
\nWithout the protection of metal and high-tech crumple zones that most modern cars offer today, a rider who is knocked off their motorcycle is likely to end up with much more than just a whiplash injury<\/a>. If the collision is hard enough, we\u2019re talking broken bones or serious soft tissue damage if the rider is thrown through the air.<\/p>\n

So how much could you be entitled to claim for if you are an innocent motorcyclist who has been knocked off their bike?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, as I said above, you\u2019re likely to suffer from more than just a common whiplash injury, so sadly it\u2019s very hard to tell you. The way the claim is valued on is based on the degree of pain, suffering, and loss of amenity<\/em><\/strong>. On top of that, your lost earnings, or medical expenses, or anything else you have to pay out for is added on as well.<\/p>\n

Generally speaking, the more you suffer, the more we get for you<\/em><\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Your claim amount is going to be entirely dependent on what injuries you suffer from, which of course could be anything when you are a rider injured in a motorcycle accident. I\u2019ll try and give you some of the official guidelines and brackets for soft tissue and broken limb injuries that are common in motorcycle accident claims<\/a>, if that helps:<\/p>\n
