How can we help?
A pillion passenger is a passenger that sits behind the rider on a motorbike and we are experienced at helping them make a claim if they have been seriously injured.
Pillion passengers make motorbikes heavier which makes it more difficult to manoeuvre. In addition, the gravity of the vehicle is shifted towards the rear end which can cause the motorbike to lift from the front end or even rotate. This means that both riders and passengers are more susceptible to sustaining serious injuries.
If you have sustained a serious injury as a pillion passenger, we will be able to help you receive compensation, rehabilitation and support for your family. We understand the devastating impact that serious injuries can have on victims and their families and we are devoted to providing them with all the means necessary to get them back on track.
