  • Workplace cyclists such as couriers or delivery cyclists who cycle as part of their employment

Common cycle accident injuries our personal injury solicitors advise on include:

  • Back and spinal injuries
  • Fractures
  • Head and brain injuries
  • Road rash
  • Soft tissue injuries
  • Psychological injuries

Cycle Accident Compensation

If you’ve been involved in a cycling accident that wasn’t your fault, you could make a claim for compensation to recover for:

  • Personal injuries
  • Damage to your bike
  • Damage to your helmet, clothes and kit
  • Loss of earnings because of your injuries and inability to work
  • Transport costs incurred because of the accident
  • Rehabilitation costs such as physiotherapy sessions or hydrotherapy

Your personal injury damages will depend on the nature of your cycle accident injuries.

Our cycle accident solicitors will arrange for medical assessments and reports to detail your injuries and comment on the short and long-term impact of your accident. For example, a severe spinal injury may result in your not being able to continue in your current employment. Evidence will need to be obtained on the extent of your ability to work in future and the impact on your earnings potential.

When it comes to your bike, it may be repairable or need replacing if it is no longer safe to ride. An expert report may be required, especially if your cycle was top of the range. When it comes to helmets and other kit it is helpful if you can produce evidence of purchase receipts to support your compensation claim.

Our cycle accident solicitors know that, where possible, you will be keen to get back on the road cycling again.

Where liability is admitted by the other party and their insurer we can press for an interim compensation payment so you have the funds to get your bike or helmet repaired, whilst the remainder of your personal injury claim is considered.
