Cycling Injury Claims

While cycling offers excellent health benefits and an efficient method of transport, being a cyclist on Britain’s roads does not come without its risks. Cyclists are incredible vulnerable and there’s very little in the way of protection if you’re involved in an accident, particularly if that accident involves a vehicle.

If you have been involved in a cycling accident within the last three years then you may be able to claim compensation for any injuries you suffered. Cycling injury claims can be made if you are hit by an insured driver, in this situation the claim can be made against the insurance policy. If you were hit by an uninsured driver then you may still be entitled to compensation; we can help you make a claim in this instance against the Motor Insurance Bureau.

You’re also entitled to make a claim if your accident was the result of a poor or damaged road surface, or if something had been spilt on the roads such as oil or diesel which the local council had failed to clear up.

Your compensation claim can include the recovery of financial losses such as:

• Replacement cost of damaged bicycle
• Travel costs incurred due to being unable to cycle because of injury
• Loss of earnings since the accident as well as any future loss of earnings
• Cost of medical treatment, including private medical treatment in some cases
