If you’ve been injured whilst cycling, we can provide specialist legal advice. Importantly, our team of specialists are all cyclists and bring that passion and insight to your compensation claim following an accident that was not your fault.
When can a cycling accident claim be brought?
We would suggest you contact us for legal advice if you have been injured whilst cycling in the last three years.
We have recently succeeded with cycling accident claims for clients injured in one of the following ways;
- collision at a roundabout
- kicked off their bike by a horse
- struck by an overtaking vehicle
- collisions caused by vehicles emerging from / turning into side roads
- bicycle frames breaking
- dangerous bicycle servicing
- ‘car dooring’
- accidents caused by potholes
- uninsured or ‘hit and run’ drivers and vehicles performing unsafe turns.
You can find out more about cases such as these in our case law update.
How long does a claim take, and what is the process?
Our specialist solicitors will quickly assess the merits of your cycling accident claim on a ‘no win, no fee’ basis. We will continuously advise you on the timescale for concluding your claim.
Much will depend on whether liability is disputed and the complexity of your injuries. That makes it hard to estimate how long it will take to conclude your claim at the outset. However, complex claims can years to conclude.

Is a claim time consuming or stressful?
One of our primary roles is to make sure your claim is as stress-free and as easy to pursue as possible. We endeavour to do the hard work on your behalf and to simplify things so that it’s all manageable.
How much will it cost to make a cycling accident claim?
We are happy to assess your claim on a ‘no win, no fee’ basis. If we believe you have a good claim, we will enter into a ‘no win, no fee’ agreement with you. Further details on funding a claim can be found here.
We will also add value by ensuring you receive the maximum amount of compensation and by obtaining interim payments so that you have access to money for things you need as your claim progresses.
How much compensation will I receive?
If we succeed with liability, the amount you receive will depend on the extent of your injuries and the amount of your financial losses (to date and in the future). When the time comes to assess the value of your claim, we will undertake thorough research before advising you. We will be happy to obtain part payments towards your claim as it progresses in case you need money for particular expenses, such as medical treatment or replacement of your bicycle.
