Did you know?

Drivers have a legal duty to take extra care in relation to cyclists on the roads.

In legal terms, cyclists are called “vulnerable road users”. That means they’re more likely to be seriously hurt in a crash because they don’t have the protection that drivers do – like seatbelts, airbags, or a metal frame.

Common Causes of Cycling Accidents

Cyclists are particularly vulnerable on the road and can suffer serious injuries even in low-speed incidents. We regularly assist clients who have been injured as a result of:

• Drivers failing to check mirrors or blind spots
• Motorists turning or changing lanes without signalling
• Drivers overtaking too closely, causing accidents
• Dangerous or poorly maintained roads, including potholes
• Reckless or distracted driving, such as mobile phone use
• Collisions at junctions or within cycle lanes
• Hit-and-run accidents

Whatever the cause, we will carefully investigate the details of your accident and build a strong case to ensure you receive the maximum possible compensation.

What You Can Claim For

A cycle accident claim can include compensation for more than just your injuries. You may be able to claim for:

• Pain and suffering
• Damage to your bicycle and personal belongings
• Loss of earnings or potential future income
• Medical treatment and rehabilitation costs
• Travel expenses related to your recovery

Our road traffic accident solicitors will ensure every aspect of your physical, emotional and financial loss is properly considered.

What To Do After a Cycling Accident

If you are involved in a cycling accident, try to follow these steps as soon as it is safe to do so:

1. Get medical attention for your injuries.

4. Take photographs of the accident scene and your injuries.
5. Keep receipts for any expenses related to your treatment or repairs.
