Cycling Accident Claims
Home > Personal Injury >
As experienced bicycle accident solicitors we have an impressive record in recovering compensation for the victims of cycling accidents.
The popularity of cycling has increased dramatically, particularly here in the picturesque Yorkshire Dales and surrounding area. Frequented by cycling club enthusiasts, occasional cyclists and complete novices, our scenic roads are unfortunately also high risk routes for all cyclists, so there has also been a sharp rise in the number of cycling accidents.
We understand a bike accident is traumatic, from cuts and bruises through to serious head and spinal injuries, sometimes permanent. Tell us about your cycling accident and, as cycle accident solicitors we will advise whether you have grounds for a cycling injury claim against another road user or as a result of negligence in the maintenance of the road.
We provide a no win, no fee service, investigating the cause of your accident and fighting for compensation to help you get all the financial, medical and rehabilitation support you need to recover.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the common causes of cycling accidents?
Poor road surfaces, including potholes and ruts, are often a factor in cycling accidents. In these instances, where negligence on the part of those responsible for the condition of the road are to blame, such as the government department, Local Highways Authority, Highways England, we can claim personal injury compensation for you.
Often a bike accident is caused by other road users, particularly car drivers failing to see vulnerable cyclists, even those wearing high visibility clothing. In cycling accidents of this nature, a successful claim can usually be pursued.
How much can I claim for a cycling accident?
Acting as your bike accident lawyer we will help you to get the maximum amount of personal injury compensation possible. The exact figure will depend on how serious your injuries are and how long they will affect you. As well as claiming recompense for the injury, medical expenses, rehabilitation and loss of earnings, we may also be able to help you claim for damage to your bike and equipment.
How long do I have to claim for a cycling accident?
As your bicycle accident lawyers we are able to make a claim up to three years after the date of your cycling accident. For children under 18 a claim can be made any time until they turn 21 years of age. If an injury victim is unable to make the claim themselves due to mental incapacity (pre-dating or because of the cycling accident) there are no time limits on making a claim while they are incapable.
