How Driver’s Negligence Can Cause Cycling Accidents?
Many cycling accidents in the UK occur for one simple reason that drivers are not fully focused on the road. Reckless or careless, call it whatever you like, but it causes real damage. Some of the cycling accidents caused by drivers negligence 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 panel of cyclist accident lawyers know what to look for, gather the right proof and build your case firmly.
What If the Driver Did Not Stop After Hitting Me?
In the case of an accident where the driver did not stop after colliding into you, you are still eligible to make a cycling accident compensation claim. These are what we call hit-and-run cases. They are messy for sure, but not something you cannot claim. We can approach the Motor Insurers Bureau for such cases on your behalf. Our panel of cycling accident lawyers are well-versed in handling such claims.
Can I Claim If a Pothole Caused My Cycling 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.
