Compensation for Bicycle Accidents
We are specialist solicitors ** who deal with hundreds of cycling accident claims every year. We’ll tell you straight away how much compensation you can claim for your bicycle accident, and will handle the entire process for you on a no win, no fee * basis.
If you have had an accident whilst on your bicycle, we can assist you with claiming compensation — whether it occurred on a pushbike, tandem, mountain bike, tricycle, or even a unicycle! Just because you’re not mandated to have insurance like car drivers, it doesn’t mean that you can’t get compensated for your injuries. That’s where we come in.
As bicycle accident claims specialists, we understand that as a cyclist you are actually much more likely to be involved in an accident whilst on the road, than any other road user. In fact, statistics show that cyclists are up to ten times more likely to be hurt on the road – and most of the time it is due to the fault of another motorist.
Don’t Be Afraid to Make a Bicycle Accident Compensation Claim
Despite those statistics, the fact that so many cyclists are injured each year is still inexcusable. And the fact that so many of them are unaware that they can claim for bicycle accident compensation is something that we are trying to change.
There is a perpetuated myth that because cyclists don’t have road insurance like car drivers, that this somehow means they cannot apply for cycling accident compensation.
You will actually be surprised how easy it is to get compensation. The reason is that car drivers, who are liable for your accident as a third party, will be able to claim for your injuries against their own insurance. If you were not at fault, then you are 100% entitled to claim for personal injury compensation — and with our assistance, you receive the damages you deserve.
Bicycle Accident Case Studies
The solicitors ** that Accident Claims UK work with have covered many cases of bicycle accident compensation. Here is a small selection of cases where we have helped cyclists claim for injuries sustained whilst out on the road:
Case #1 — Security Guard Injured Whilst on Patrol
A security guard made a personal injury compensation claim for an accident. His employers had given him a bicycle to patrol the industrial estate that he worked on. Whilst he was riding along, the brakes malfunctioned, resulting in a locking of the front wheel. He was catapulted over the front handlebars and landed very badly on his back.
After our investigation was complete, it turned out that the brakes were faulty due to not being maintained correctly by his employer. We successfully worked on this case, with the result of him being awarded a large sum for his injuries. Without our help, he would not have been able to claim bicycle accident compensation. He is now fully recovered, and even has a new job.
Case #2 — Cyclist Hurt by Driver at Busy Junction
Our client was cycling along a bury road in Central London when a car driver pulled out quickly from a junction. The cyclist hit the side of the car and was thrown over the bonnet. He suffered bruising and cuts to his face, as well as injuries to his left knee, which left him unable to work for three weeks.
We contacted the insurance company of the driver, and the third party accepted full liability for the accident and made a derisory offer of £500 for the accident. We didn’t believe that this was a fair representation of compensation for the injuries and damage to the bike, so we took this case to court. The court’s judge awarded over £2000 in compensation to the cyclist.
Case #3 — Cyclist Loses an Arm in Collision With a Lorry
In one of the more serious compensation cases that we have had to deal with, a cyclist that our solicitors ** represented lost an arm due to an accident with a lorry. The articulated vehicle didn’t see the cyclist as it was going around a roundabout and ended up colliding with our client, who was dragged underneath the lorry.
Due to the serious nature of the injury, plus the rehabilitation time and care required, our lawyers ** managed to claim nearly £500,000 in bicycle accident compensation for our client.
Evidently, not all the accidents that we deal with are this serious, as accidents can range from minor damage to the bicycle, up to serious injuries to a cyclist. However, just because the accident didn’t result in serious damage or injury does not mean that there isn’t a compensation amount that can be claimed for. No matter how your incident occurred, make sure to speak to us for free guidance.
