Cycling Accident Compensation Claims

Every week, approximately 1,000 cyclists are involved in a cycling accident or road traffic incident on Britain’s busy roads. If you have had an “off”, through no fault of your own, our expert panel of cycling accident solicitors can help you claim the compensation you are rightfully owed.

Cyclists are among some of the most vulnerable road users, with even low-speed collisions having the potential to cause catastrophic effects on the injured cyclist.

Here at ClaimExperts.co.uk, we understand how traumatic being involved in a cycling accident can be, and our panel of solicitors can assist those who have had an accident get back on their bike.

If you have been injured on the road as a result of another driver’s negligence, our panel can help you claim compensation which could cover the costs of any missed work, medical bills, and broken cycling equipment. Get in touch today to find out how our expert panel of cycling solicitors can help.

What are the Most Common Type of Cycling Accidents?

Over the years, our panel has seen a variety of cycling accidents, and no two injuries are the same. Some of the common cycling accidents our panel see are:

• Road Traffic Collisions
• Potholes and road defects
• Car door collisions
• Non-collision accident – Enforced braking or swerving
• Defective equipment
• Accidents involving pedestrians
• Accidents involving animals

If your cycling accident sounds familiar to any of the above, you may be entitled to claim. Get in touch with our expert panel of cycling accident compensation solicitors to find out if they can guide you through your claim.  

Why Make a Cycling Accident Claim?

We often get cyclists claiming that accidents are “a risk you take” when cycling on roads. However, we don’t think this is correct or fair, and if another road user has acted negligently, you deserve to be compensated.

Some cyclists also do not realise they can claim compensation when they have been involved in an accident. They simply want to dust themselves off and get back on the saddle. While this is commendable, making a cycling accident claim is a fair, reasonable, and straightforward process that is often expected by the party at fault.

In addition to this, the compensation claimed is not just for the pain and suffering you may have endured. It can replace broken cycling equipment, take care of medical bills, and reimburse you for any missed time in work.

No Win, No Fee Cycling Accident Solicitors

Here at ClaimExperts.co.uk, we believe every cyclist is entitled to justice, without the need for worrying about financial risk. This is why our expert panel act on a No Win, No Fee basis for cycling accident compensation claims. There is no risk to you for bringing forward a claim.

You will have nothing to pay upfront when you begin your claim and, in the unlikely circumstance your case is unsuccessful, you will not have anything to pay at all. Our panel will keep you updated throughout your case to discuss how much you will look to receive in compensation. There will be no hidden or unexpected fees anywhere along the way.

The No Win, No Fee Success Fee is based on which expert panel member we refer you to. The maximum our legal panel will charge for all standard, No Win No Fee personal injury claims is 25% Inc. VAT. More complex, severe injury cases may incur additional fees which our panel can discuss if applicable. There may be a termination fee if you cancel your claim with a panel member after the cooling off period which is 14 days. 

How much is a Cycling Accident Claim Worth?

This really is a case of “how long is a piece of string?”. Every bike injury compensation claim is different, with differing severity in injuries and varying amounts of money lost. The factors include:

• The severity of the cycling injury
• The accident circumstances
• How long it takes you to recover from your injuries
• How much lost income you have incurred
• Other financial expenses as a result of the accident, such as medical bills and travel expenses

Our panel of bike injury solicitors will talk you through how much they believe you can potentially claim and come to an agreement to go to the other party.

Is There a Time Limit for Making Cycling Accident Claim?

Yes, this is called the limitation period. In the UK, the limitation period is three years from the date on which the cycling accident occurred, or, three years from the date of you being aware of any subsequent injuries.

There are more complex rules for claims on behalf of children, cycling fatalities, and for those who lack mental capacity.

If you think you have a cycling accident claim, our expert panel advise you to get in touch as soon as possible to avoid being time-barred.

What Happens if the Other Vehicle Didn’t Stop?

Unfortunately, this happens more often than you might think. However, if you have been injured by another vehicle that failed to stop, you can still claim compensation through the Motor Insurers’ Bureau. This also includes vehicles that are untraceable and/or uninsured.

The same rules apply for the time limits for these types of cases, so our panel would urge you to get in touch as soon as possible.
