All our highly trained Solicitors and Barristers ride motorcycles. We provide professional legal advice, finely tuned with biking expertise - We Ride, We Know

Who is to blame?

In collisions car drivers are generally at fault with the main cause of the accident being simply that the motorcyclist was not seen

Less specialist solicitors will often advise to accept greater responsibility than they should or even that there is no case at all

Scenarios?

We are expert in arguments over responsibility, including difficult areas of speed, filtering and road surface defects

we regularly take over serious claims only to find the previous solicitors have seriously undervalued items of loss

Why use us

We will act on a no win, no fee basis, even if your case has been rejected by other solicitors

all White Dalton lawyers are motorcyclists, so they know the risks faced by motorcyclists on the road

I Bought it Second-Hand From a Dealer

When you buy second hand from a dealer, the law implies terms into the contract just as if you had bought a new motorcycle. The bike must:

  • match its description
  • be fit for its purpose
  • be of satisfactory quality

The standard of satisfactory quality to be expected in a second hand motorcycle is not as high as with a new motorcycle. It should be in reasonable condition and work properly. The fact a second hand motorcycle requires extensive repairs before you can ride it every day does not necessarily mean that it is not of satisfactory quality.

If the defect which you are complaining about was drawn to your attention by the seller at the time of sale, or if you inspected the motorcycle before you bought it and should have noticed the defects, then you are unable to claim.

Remember: the dealer is under no obligation to point out any defects.

You and the dealer may have agreed certain terms and conditions of the sale when negotiating the deal, for example that certain repairs were done before you took delivery of the motorcycle. If these repairs were not done, you may be able to claim against the seller for a breach of contract.
