Expertise And Understanding From Irwin Mitchell
Cycling is an important activity for many people, but a cycling injury can have a serious impact on the lives of victims and their families. If you have suffered from a cycling injury, you could be entitled to claim compensation for the pain and the physical, mental and financial suffering you have experienced.
At Irwin Mitchell we fight fearlessly to achieve the best outcome for your cycle accident claim. We’re renowned for our understanding of the issues affecting you and your family due to a cycling accident, and we know what positive action to take to make a difference.
Our lawyers offer the highest level of professionalism and expertise, combined with dedication and sensitivity.
Above all, we put you first.
Handling Cycling Accident Claims With Expertise And Sensitivity
With cycle use on the increase, it’s not surprising that there has been an increase in the number of cycling accidents and subsequent cycling injury compensation claims. Sadly, about 150 cyclists are killed each year following a crash or accident whilst fifteen times this number are seriously injured. Cycling is an activity where the risk of serious personal injury is much higher than for other road users.
Cycling accidents and subsequent injury claims can arise from:
- The actions of other road users
- The condition or design of the road (e.g. the presence of a pothole)
- Faulty equipment (bikes and/or helmets)
Our experts have specific, lengthy experience in representing clients involved in cycling accidents.
As well as giving legal advice and assisting with your cycling accident claim, we can liaise with agencies offering rehabilitation to assist with recovery. We also have recent expertise in the approach of the courts to wearing cycle helmets.
In addition to claiming compensation for injuries your solicitor can also include your losses and expenses in your bike accident claim, for example:
- Cost of replacement or repairs to your bike.
- Cost of replacement cycle helmet.
- Cost of replacement or repair of clothing and accessories.
- Loss of earnings.
- Travelling expenses which otherwise would not have been incurred.
- Physiotherapy or other rehabilitation treatment.
- Private medical treatment if that is your choice.
