Often blamed. Often dismissed. We take your call.
Motorcyclists — riders who need the claim run properly.
Insurers default to blaming the rider. Law firms often decline when fault is contested. We build the claim from day one — statutory benefits regardless of fault, damages when injuries are non-threshold. Had a car accident? Call Accident Hub.
The insurer is already telling a story — make yours louder
Motorcyclists get blamed in situations that would never get blamed on a driver. "I didn't see them" becomes "they were hiding in the blind spot". Legal lane filtering gets called illegal lane splitting. Speed gets assumed, not measured. Helmet choice, jacket colour, even the make of bike gets raised.
This isn't paranoia. It's a pattern. Insurers want contributory-negligence hooks because every percentage knocked off your share of fault knocks the same off your damages. We know where the hooks come from and we cut them off early — before the insurer's version calcifies.
Call us from the scene if you can. First 24 hours matter more for riders than for anyone else.
The rider's compensation claim
CTP covers your injuries. The claim we run: statutory benefits, damages, plus the fault fight — documented from day one.
Statutory benefits
Up to 52 weeks of income support (up to 95% of pre-accident earnings in the first 13 weeks, stepping down). Medical, rehab, psych treatment paid through CTP. Regardless of fault under MAIA 2017.
Check your entitlementsNon-threshold damages
Rider injuries are often non-threshold. We build the damages claim properly — pain, suffering, future income, future care. You keep 100% of the settlement.
The full claimFault defence
Evidence gathered early: CCTV requests, witness details, scene photos, damage analysis. The story told right from the start — before the insurer's version sticks.

Lane filtering is legal. Under 30km/h. At intersections.
Fully-licensed riders can filter between stationary or slow-moving traffic at speeds up to 30km/h, generally at intersections. It's in the NSW Road Rules. Not lane splitting at highway speed — that's still illegal — but moving through stopped traffic at a walking-pace isn't.
Learner and provisional riders can't filter. Filtering beside heavy vehicles or in school zones has tighter rules. We know the rule book and we use it properly. If an insurer tells you filtering makes you at fault for a crash where a driver opened a door into you, that insurer is wrong. We correct them.
Helmet law matters too. You must wear an approved helmet. Not wearing one doesn't block your claim — but it may reduce damages for head injuries through contributory negligence. For statutory benefits (the first 52 weeks), it generally doesn't affect what you get.
