Use our easy compensation calculator to estimate the level of compensation you may be entitled to claim.
If you've been injured in a road accident, that was not your fault, whilst riding a motorbike, and want to know how much compensation you might get for making a Motorcycle Accident Compensation Claim? Then our Motorbike Accident Compensation Calculator gives guidance on the potential settlement value of your injury claim.
We specialise in helping injured Bike riders make a Motorcycle Injury Claim, and have many years' experience helping motorcyclists successfully claim the compensation they are owed. Our years of experience have not only allowed us to develop an enviable reputation for securing the maximum levels of compensation for our clients, but they have also enabled us to build an established network of healthcare professionals. We can utilise this to ensure you receive the best medical care and support to help them on their road to recovery.
Whilst ensuring your physical and mental well-being will be everyone’s first priority, once your immediate medical needs have been met, you or your family might want to start considering seeking justice. Thoughts often turn to trying to understand how compensation a Motorcycle Accident Claim could be worth.
Unfortunately, no amount of compensation will make your injuries disappear overnight, but it can help fund access to the finest medical care, treatments, and expertise to maximise your chances of making the best possible recovery. At the same time, it can help you support yourself and your family financially during the recovery period and if applicable, into the future.
While every Motorbike Claim must be individually evaluated, the following Motorcycle Accident Compensation Calculator sections of this page will provide guideline values that could be attached to the 'general damages' aspect of your compensation claim
The figures outlined below offer an indication of the recommended settlement amounts for your motorcycling injury alone, without considering any other additional losses or damages caused by your accident which will likely increase the final value of a claim.
An accurate valuation of any compensation claim can only be made once all the details of the accident are known.
Figures below are published by the Judicial college as a means of providing general damages guidance to the courts, but if you have been affected by an injury caused to you while riding a motorbike, you should talk to our expert team for an individual evaluation of your circumstances.
Our lawyers are all highly experienced and qualified Motorbike Accident Solicitors, accredited by MASS (Motor Accident Solicitors Society).

Motorcycle Accident Compensation Calculators are intended to provide an estimate of the ‘General Damages’ element of your Motorbike Accident Injury Compensation Claim.
As with all personal injury compensation calculators, our calculator figures above provide an indication of the ‘General Damages’ typically awarded for injuries of a similar type and severity to yours.
These figures do not consider the unique circumstances surrounding your individual claim and do not account for additional losses you may be entitled to claim for such as medical costs, ongoing care costs and loss of earnings. You are entitled to recoup these expenses and they will form the ‘Special Damages’ element of your compensation award.
Whilst compensation calculators offer a useful insight into the General Damages you might be able to expect, they are no substitute for an initial free consultation with a fully qualified Motorbike Injury Lawyer.
So, if you or a family member have been injured in a motorcycle accident caused by somebody else, call Sheldon Davidson Solicitors and let us help you start your claim for Motorcycle accident injury compensation.
Establishing the details surrounding the accident, your injuries, and the ongoing effects, both physically, psychologically, and financially is critical to ensuring you receive the appropriate levels of compensation and is not a part of the claims process that should be rushed. As experts in Motorcycle Accident Compensation Claim, Shelden Davidson Solicitors will ensure that all essential factors are considered when calculating the value of your claim.
In cases where the injured party has sustained more serious injuries, it can be prudent to afford sufficient time to allow any swelling to go down in order to be able to assess the injury fully before valuing the claim. Once the effects of your injury are fully evaluated, we are then able to seek to secure the appropriate compensation settlement value from those liable for your injury. Where appropriate interim compensation payments can also be sought and made.
At Sheldon Davidson Solicitors, we are very experienced in pursuing Motorcycle Accident Claims on behalf of our clients and are among the best at what we do in the North West. To discuss your case in more detail or for more information about our past work, speak with one of our RTA Solicitors today. They will happily provide you with details of past cases and the financial settlements secured by our team.
Understandably, one of the most frequently asked questions we receive is regarding the average compensation, or potential value of their Motorbike Accident Claim. Calculating the levels of compensation someone might be entitled to claim is rarely straightforward, certainly not in the initial stages of a claim.
Many factors influence the value of a compensation claim such as the details of the incident, the severity and extent of your injuries and the predicted impact of your injuries on your immediate and future life. The details surrounding these factors need to be established and considered before an accurate potential settlement figure can be calculated.
Your total motorcycle accident compensation settlement will be composed of two elements, general damages, and special damages. The general damages are designed to compensate you for the pain and suffering caused by the injury itself, whilst the special damages are intended to reimburse you for any financial losses or medical expenses incurred as a direct consequence of the accident.
As with many other types of personal injury claims, the general damages element of your compensation settlement will be calculated using the guidelines provided by the Judicial College. These guidelines recommend potential compensation values based on several different criteria, including the body part affected, the type of injury, its severity, the expected degree of recovery and the estimated recovery time frame. Your medical reports will then be assessed against these guidelines to determine what levels of general damages you are entitled to claim.
The special damages are unique in every case and are intended to reflect the financial losses and expenses the injured party has experienced as a result of the accident and will include things such as:
In the free initial assessment of your claim, we will look to build a more detailed picture of your case, allowing us to understand the nature and severity of your injuries, as well as your financial losses. This will enable us to provide you with a more accurate idea of the potential compensation amounts.
The compensation value figures above reflect those compensation levels as set out by the Judicial College guidelines (JCG), and provides insight surrounding the general damages element of your Motorcycle Accident Claim only.
