Our Cycling Accident claims expertise

Our specialist cycling accident claims solicitors regularly act for cyclists who have been involved in road traffic accidents. We act on a ‘no win, no fee’ basis giving cutting-edge legal advice to help you make a claim for compensation. We are recommended by the London Cycling Campaign for our expertise in bicycle accident claims.

The injuries to a cyclist can be devastating and, in some cases, life-altering. We have been involved in many substantial claims for cyclists who have suffered injuries including:

• brain and head injury
• spinal injury
• serious orthopaedic injury including amputation
• psychiatric injury

We will ensure that you receive compensation to cover your treatment, rehabilitation, care and to compensate for your injuries and any income you have lost because of your accident.

We also act for the families of victims who have died as a result of a cycling accident. Whenever we can we will help to press for a police prosecution and will organise representation at an Inquest in a fatal injury case.

We make sure that all that can be done to assist the success of your claim is done. We understand first hand the difficulties that can be faced by a cyclist on the road. We are used to dealing with arguments over signalling and the wearing of helmets.

Types of bicycle accident claims

There are many different types of bicycle accidents which could give rise to a potential bicycle accident compensation claim including:

• Bicycle accidents caused by other vehicles: you may be knocked off your bike due to the negligence of a car, motorbike, lorry or even another bicycle
• Bicycle accidents caused by pedestrians: If you have been knocked off your bicycle due to the negligence of a pedestrian, you could be entitled to make a no win no fee bicycle accident compensation claim
• Bicycle accidents caused by poor road conditions - This could include bicycle accidents caused by pot holes or other uneven road surfaces and bicycle accidents caused by ice in areas which should be gritted to minimise the risk of accidents.
• Bicycle accidents caused by faulty products - If you are injured following a bicycle accident which was caused by a fault with the bike itself, you could be entitled to compensation.
