Since the firm was established in 1987, we have specialised in motorbike accidents.
Rob Fletcher, co-founder and managing director of the firm, is and has always been a keen biker, riding various different motorbikes and rebuilding and collecting classic bikes. Rob has passed on this passion to the Road Traffic Teams, and has built up one of the leading motor bike accident specialist legal teams in the country. Having dealt with motorcycle claims from all the major bike insurance companies, as biking becomes more and more mainstream and popular, especially with commuters, the motorcycle accidentTeam at Fletchers has positioned itself to be at the forefront of this trend. Fletchers has sponsored BSB riders and up and coming racers, attended all the major bike shows across the UK, and has been affiliated with many popular “hang outs” such as the Ace Café in London.
Unfortunately, despite a growing popularity, Bikers are still very much prejudiced by insurance companies and car drivers who will always try to blame the biker. The biker will often be falsely accused of speeding, weaving between traffic and “coming from no where”. Most high street solicitors have neither the will, the knowledge, or the experience to tackle these common arguments and will often settle a motorcycle accident claim for less than it is worth.
At Fletchers Solicitors, our motorcycle accident Team has seen every argument raised, and do everything we can to counter those arguments, and prejudices, and get the best result for the biker. We know that a loud exhaust can be the reason people assume speed. We know many bikes are restricted and not capable of the speeds alleged. We know filtering is not illegal and is very much part of riding a bike. We know that a helmet must be replaced new after any motorcycle accident. We know that “nowhere” does not exist, and the reality is that the biker is there to be seen, if the person looks properly.
Using our 22+ years’ experience, we strive to get the best result for our motorcycle accident biker clients, be they commuters on scooters, or weekend riders on their pride and joy. Our policy is to push everything as far as possible, even to court if necessary, and we truly feel that our award winning service and unmatched experience makes us the best choice for those people unfortunate enough to have an accident on their motorbike.
