Cycling accidents

If you have been injured in an accident which was not your fault whilst cycling on a public road we can help you claim compensation.

In the modern climate of congestion on the roads and awareness of the damage motor vehicles are doing to the environment, many people choose to travel by bicycle rather than by car. It is not unusual to see people commuting to work or children travelling to school by bicycle. Cycling can also be good fun, great exercise and can be an enjoyable leisure activity for all the family.

There are often issues to consider which are particular to cycling accidents, such as rights of way in special cycle lanes, and any effect that failure to wear a cycle helmet or other protective clothing may have on the claim.

A driver’s motor insurance will cover claims brought by cyclists, but if the motorist is not insured or you do not know their identity, it may still be possible to bring a claim through the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB).

Unfortunately cyclists are very vulnerable on the roads and have little protection if they are involved in any type of collision, especially if they are struck by a motor vehicle. In such cases the injuries sustained can be extremely serious and debilitating.

We have considerable experience in dealing with different types of injuries from soft tissue injuries through complex knee injuries and fractured limbs to catastrophic spinal and head injuries. In all cases, we understand that our clients' have suffered injury and loss and we will always work to achieve the best possible results for you.
