Losses arising from an accident have to more tangible than just being inconvenienced.  Stress, by itself, also isn&#8217;t generally something that can be claimed for.  It is possible for a claim to be made in respect of an identifiable psychological conditions, such as post-traumatic stress and depression arising as a consequence of an accident, but the stress of going through the process of making a claim is not something that can generally be compensated.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 tabindex=\"0\">How long does it take to receive compensation?<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>The time varies depending on case complexity, but we aim to settle claims as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 tabindex=\"0\">Can I claim if the accident was partly my fault?<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Yes, you may still be entitled to partial compensation, depending on the circumstances.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 tabindex=\"0\">Do I have to pay upfront fees?<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>No, we offer a no win, no fee service-no upfront payment required.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 tabindex=\"0\">How do I know if I&#8217;m eligible for compensation?<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>If you&#8217;ve been injured in a motorcycle accident that wasn&#8217;t your fault, you are likely eligible.
