Cycling Accident Claims Solicitor

Bicycle Accident Compensation Claims

Duncan Lewis personal injury solicitors frequently advise cyclists on how to make claim, for injuries sustained in bicycle accidents.

Our specialist claims team can advise on claims involving minor injuries or serious, catastrophic and life changing injuries as a result of bicycle accidents caused by the negligence of another road user, a poorly maintained road surface, an obstacle on the public highway, a faulty hired bicycle, or professional bicycle repairs which proved faulty.

Our bicycle accidents claims team advises both professional cyclists – such as couriers and competitive cyclists – as well as commuters and leisure cyclists on how to claim compensation for injuries sustained in bicycle accidents caused by negligence.

The Duncan Lewis claims team frequently advises on bicycle accident claims involving:

• Amputation
• Catastrophic/life changing injury
• Crush injuries
• Fractures
• Head injuries/concussion/TBI
• Nerve damage
• Organ damage
• Spinal injuries.

Duncan Lewis personal injury solicitors also offer supportive legal advice to bereaved families whose loved one has lost their life in a bicycle accident that was not their fault – and who wish to make a Fatal Injuries Claim for compensation against the road user or other responsible party.

How to claim compensation for bicycle accidents

There is usually a three-year time limit for making no win no fee bicycle accident compensation claims.

Children are able to claim compensation for injuries as a result of a bicycle accident caused by negligence up to the age of 21 for injuries sustained before the age of 18. Your Duncan Lewis personal injury solicitor can also advise parents and guardians on how to make a bicycle accident claim on behalf of a child before they reach the age of 18 by acting as the child’s Litigation Friend.

Duncan Lewis personal injury solicitors always press for maximum compensation for bicycle accident claims – and can also advise on rehabilitation, adaptations to the home and access to welfare benefits, as well as compensation to cover ongoing medical expenses and any future care requirements, including 24/7 care.
