How Driver Negligence Can Cause Cycling Accidents?
Many cycling accident claims come down to one thing i.e. drivers just not paying attention. Reckless, careless, call it what you like, but it causes real damage. Some include:
- Opening the car doors without checking the side mirrors.
- Inattentive driving (Like, having a call while driving).
- Careless overtaking without giving sufficient space to the cyclists.
- Driving under the influence.
- Speeding or aggressive driving.
Our cycling accident lawyers know what to look for, gather the right proof and build your case firmly.
What If the Driver Did Not Stop?
In the case of an accident where the driver did not stop after colliding into you, you still are eligible to apply for cycling accident claims. These are what we call hit-and-run cases. They are messy for sure, but they are not hopeless. We can approach the Motor Insurers Bureau for such cases on your behalf. Our personal injury lawyers for bicycle accidents are well-versed in handling such claims.
Can I Claim If a Pothole Caused My Accident?
Yes, bad roads count too. If your bicycle accident was caused due to a pothole or a defect on the road that should not have been there. You become eligible to hold the council or other relevant authorities accountable. We will help gather proof, photos, injury details, expert reports and all the stuff that backs you up.
How Much Bicycle Injury Compensation Could I Get?
Bicycle accident settlement amounts in England and Wales depend on factors such as:
- The severity of your injuries
- Loss of earnings
- Ongoing medical needs
- Psychological impact
- Property damage (bike, gear, phone)
Our cycling accident solicitors can give you a rough idea of what your claim is worth. It could be a few thousand for smaller injuries, or much more if things were serious. Some claims even hit six figures, depending on what you have been through.
What Can I Claim Financially?
You can claim all the financial losses directly related to your cycling accident. Here are some examples:
- Medical expenses (including rehab and therapy)
- Loss of current and future income
