How do I make a bicycle accident claim?
To make a cycle accident claim, it’s important to act fast. After your accident, a claim must be brought within three years of the date you suffered an injury or three years of you being aware that you have suffered an injury.
The first step in any claim for cycling or biking accidents is to seek medical attention for any injuries. From there, you should also look to note down as much as you can remember about the accident, including what happened and who was involved. You should also look to collect the names, addresses and contact details of anyone involved in the accident, and anyone who saw it.
After this, if you can, you should take photographs of the scene of the accident to show what happened, and contact the police to file a report, which can help support your claim for cycling accident compensation.
Finally, you should contact a specialist solicitor as soon as possible to start the claim process. Call our team of experienced solicitors who will give you a no obligation consultation and advise you on the next steps you should take.
The team will assess your case based on the information provided and seek to find any additional evidence that may support your case.
How much compensation will I get?
Every injury and every bicycle accident claim is different. The amount of compensation you receive will depend on factors including the extent of your injuries, losses incurred and any other damages.
Cycling accident compensation is generally calculated in two ways:
- General damages – Compensation paid for the injuries you have suffered and the impact these have had on you, including pain, mental trauma and any ongoing health issues.
- Special damages – Compensation awarded in relation to financial losses, such as loss of earnings, any medical costs and the bills for ongoing care over time.
