Our proven record of success can help your cycling accident compensation claim
The solicitors in our department have over 250 years experience with bike accident claims and will be by your side to guide you through the process.
The majority of our expert cycling solicitors regularly commute on their bikes, ride in sportives all over the country and complete long distance charity rides. We will speak your language and are well placed to understand the impact of your accident from a physical, psychological and financial perspective.
We will investigate your cycling accident compensation claim and endeavour to see that you are adequately compensated for your injuries and financial losses. Our role in your bicycle claim goes further than this though and often sees us advising on part payments for the cost of repairing or replacing your bike, assessing your immediate needs and arranging private medical treatment, and supporting you in returning to cycling wherever possible.
The common causes of the accidents we deal with vary from collisions with motor vehicles, to defective road surfaces and faulty equipment. We will be happy to discuss your enquiry on a free of charge basis initially to help you decide whether to proceed with your cycling accident claim.
