Pillion Passenger Claims
If you were riding as a passenger on a motorcycle and were injured in an accident, you may be entitled to make a pillion passenger claim for compensation. Whether the accident was caused by another road user or the rider of the motorcycle, passengers have the legal right to pursue a claim.
What is a Pillion Passenger Claim?
Pillion passengers are individuals riding as passengers on a motorcycle or scooter. When accidents occur, pillion passengers are often left with injuries and trauma, despite having no control over the situation. A pillion passenger claim allows you to seek compensation for your injuries, medical treatment, and any loss of earnings resulting from the accident.
You do not need to be related to the rider or have insurance yourself. As a passenger, you’re legally protected and eligible to claim.
When Can You Make a Claim?
You may be able to make a pillion passenger claim if:
- The accident was caused by another driver’s negligence
- The rider of the motorcycle was at fault (e.g., speeding, careless driving)
- You were injured while riding as a passenger, regardless of who was at fault
- The accident occurred within the last 3 years
Even if the rider was someone you know (family or friend), you’re still entitled to make a claim-it doesn’t directly cost them, as the claim is made against their insurer.
