Vulnerable road users, such as cyclists, are at risk of serious injury if a collision occurs with a motorist, often being thrown off their bikes and onto the bonnet of a car or onto the road, causing injury to the cyclist and damage to their bike.
Accidents involving cyclists often happen when a motorist pulls out of a junction into the path of cyclist without warning, change lanes or make a turn without realising a cyclist is present, or even open a car door into the path of a cyclist.
We have a reputation for providing the highest levels of customer service to our clients, whilst being as tough as is required to pursue those responsible for what has happened to you.

If you have been injured in a cycle accident that was not your fault you may be entitled to compensation; we need to prove that the accident was the fault of the other motorist involved and that as a result of the accident you have suffered injury and potentially financial losses too.
Following an accident, it helpful to try and gather evidence in support of your claim, including swapping details with the motorist involved and taking the details of any witnesses, speaking to the police, and taking pictures of the accident scene. Of course, sometimes the severity of the accident may mean the cyclist is taken to hospital by ambulance and unable to do any of these things, and in those cases, we will work to obtain the necessary details to present the claim to the relevant insurer.
We will then work to evidence your claim, gathering reports from the appropriate experts as well as obtaining evidence in support of your financial losses to ensure you recover the compensation you deserve. Financial losses may include the cost of repairing or replacing your bike, loss of earnings due to time off work, as well as care and treatment costs.
You can make an injury claim if the accident was not your fault.
Many people who get in touch with us are unsure whether they can make a compensation claim. This is completely understandable – claiming compensation can seem complicated and sometimes it’s not always clear who’s at fault for your accident.
Any injury you suffer that was caused by the neglect of another person, or company (for example if you are injured at work) permits you to make a claim against them for a sum of money that covers your injuries, financial losses and any expenses or losses that you may need in the future because of what happened to you.
Our friendly team will be able to advise you whether you can make a claim that has a good chance of being successful.
You normally have three years from the date of your accident to make a claim for personal injury compensation, however sometimes the three year period runs from the date you became aware that your injuries were due to someone’s negligence. Our team will be able to advise whether you are eligible to make a claim based on the specific details of your accident and injury.
Our team of personal injury specialists will provide effective, clear and honest advice, making what may seem like a complicated process easier to cope with, safe in the knowledge that we’re on your side.

Cycling on the roads comes with its inherent risks, especially when sharing space with motor vehicles. If you’re a cyclist involved in an accident with a motorist, it’s essential to understand your rights and when you can make a claim against the driver.
When you’ve been involved in a cycling accident, it’s crucial to act promptly, not only to ensure your well-being but also to protect your legal rights. One of the most important aspects to consider is the timeframe within which you can file a claim for compensation.
Cycling is a popular and eco-friendly mode of transportation; however, accidents can happen, and when they do, it’s important to understand your rights and what you can claim for.
