Bicycle Accident Claims

Cycle accident claims - how can we help?

Cycle accident claims are just one of the areas where we help people to claim compensation here at National Accident Helpline, and with more and more people choosing to take to their bikes instead of other modes of transport, it’s not surprising that the number of cycle accidents has increased in recent years.

Types of cycle accident claims

There are a number of different types of cycle accident claims. These include:

Cycle claims for motor accidents - If you’ve been in a collision with a motor vehicle, and you’ve been injured as a result, you could be entitled to seek compensation for your injuries.

Hit and run cycle accident claims - Hit and run accidents, where you’re hit by a driver who doesn’t stop afterwards, can be extremely serious and making a cycle claim is a common response from injury victims.

Claims for cycle accidents on poorly maintained roads - If you’ve had an accident as a result of uneven road surfaces or potholes you could make cycle claims to the people responsible for maintaining those roads. 

Why should I make a cycle accident claim?

Because you’re entitled to do so! If you’ve had an accident that wasn’t your fault, we can help you  seek justice for your injuries and you could receive compensation. Whether you cycle to work on a daily basis, or you use your bike purely for leisure, you have just as much right to make a claim as a motor accident victim or someone who’s been injured at work.

If, like many cycle accident victims, you’ve been badly injured and have had to take time off from work, making a claim for your accident could help you to:

• Regain the money you may have lost whilst taking time off to recover from your injuries
• Pay for a new bike or have your existing one repaired if it has been damaged
• Provide financial assistance for medical treatment to help you to recover fully from your injuries

Making cycle accident claims – what’s involved?

With the right help and advice making cycle accident claims can be simple. Our legally trained advisors at National Accident Helpline will guide you through the process, asking a few simple questions about the nature of your cycle accident to determine if you have a potential claim.

They will then assign you a solicitor who will work on every aspect of your claim, updating you regularly on progress and doing their very best to ensure you receive the compensation you’re due for your injuries.

Once you’ve received compensation, you can be put back on the road to recovery and can return to your bike again as soon as you’re able to cycle.
