Bicycle Accident Claims

Bicycle accident claims are common because cyclists are vulnerable road users. We recognise the trauma that cyclists can have following an accident.

Another road user, such as a car van or truck may have collided with you, or you may have fallen from your bicycle as a result of the actions of some other road user. In either case we can quickly and honestly advise you on whether you can pursue a personal injury claim for compensation.

If you have been involved in an accident as a cyclist you may have suffered injuries. Should you choose us to be your personal injury solicitor, we can assist you during the claim, either by acting for you directly in discussions with the other party’s insurance company, or representing you with an application to the Personal Injuries Assessment Board.

    Personal Injury : Your Top Questions Answered

    Q
    How long can a personal injury claim take?
    AYour claim length will depend on a number of factors such as; your type of injuries, the insurance company your dealing with, your PIAB application, the assessment and then whether you move on to legal proceedings.
    Q
    How much compensation will I be entitled to?
    AThat figure is hard to immediately determine. The book of quantum can help to give you some indication but the other factors that will be taken into consideration are:

    • Liability: who was at fault for the accident.
    • Injuries: the severity of the injuries
    • Expenses: all of the bills that were paid.
    Q
    Will my claim go to court?
    A Every case is different. In the majority of personal injury cases, the person making the claim will not end up in a courtroom.

    It is possible that the person at fault will seek to settle outside of court and your case will be settled in a meeting attended by you, your solicitor, and barrister to negotiate your settlement.

    It is entirely up to you whether to accept the settlement offered. If you do not accept then it will move to a court hearing where a judge will decide how much your settlement will be.
