Bicycle Accident Claims

Cyclists are extremely vulnerable road users and are at risk of serious injuries. If you have been the victim of an bicycle accident that wasn't your fault, our experienced solicitors can provide you with the guidance needed to get your compensation you deserve.

What You Need to Know About Bicycle Accident Claims

Road accidents are common, but the risk of serious or life-changing injuries are far greater if you are a cyclist. In fact, statistics show that there are about 19,000 cyclist fatalities and injuries every year, including 3000 killed or seriously injured. A cyclist’s compensation can be down to many factors, including what part of the body has been injured and the severity of such injuries.

Have you been involved in a bicycle accident? If so, then you’ve come to the right website. We will provide you with all the information and advice you need to recover from the accident. Our solicitors can also lead your legal claim and help you recover the compensation you are owed.

Most cycle accidents are caused by motorists failing to see the cyclist, especially at a roundabout or a T junction. Around 75% of serious injuries are caused in urban areas by a junction, and roundabouts are a particular hazard.

The common causes of bicycle accident claims include the following:

  • Motorists pulling out of a side road
  • Motorists switching lanes without seeing a cyclist
  • Opening car doors in the path of a cyclists
  • Merging into a lane without seeing a cyclist
  • Motorists failing to stop at a junction
  • Mounting the kerb in the way of a cyclist
  • Children playing in the street on bikes
  • Other cyclists

Children and young adults are commonly involved in cycle accidents due to doing stunts, going fast, losing control, inexperience or playing on the road. It’s reported that 34% of accidents are caused by not manoeuvring properly or cycling in a rush. More cycle accidents happen in the daytime compared to at night. Many claims for cycle accidents happen in major cities such as Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds and Liverpool. However, they are persistent in London due to major congestion on the roads.
