Cycling Accident Claims
Clear advice from local personal injury solicitors if you have been injured while cycling.
If you have been injured in a cycling accident, HW Solicitors can help you understand whether you may have a claim and what evidence may be needed.
We understand cycling
Cycling accident claims often involve practical issues that can be missed or misunderstood, including road position, close passes, junctions, potholes, damaged bikes, cycling kit, helmets, GPS data and insurer arguments about how the collision happened.
At HW Solicitors, your enquiry will be considered by a qualified solicitor with personal cycling experience, not passed through a call centre or claims management company.
What types of cycling accident can we help with?
We can advise on cycling accident claims involving collisions with vehicles, close passes, junction accidents, roundabout accidents, car doors being opened into cyclists, road defects, potholes, unsafe road surfaces, cycling infrastructure issues, and accidents caused by another person’s negligence.
We can discuss what happened, what evidence may be available, and whether a claim may be possible.
Bike damage, helmets and cycling kit
Cycling accident claims are not only about the injury. We can also discuss damage to your bike, helmet, clothing, shoes, glasses, GPS device, lights and other cycling equipment.
Insurers may not always understand the value of a bike or cycling kit, particularly where carbon frames, upgraded components, specialist wheels or expensive accessories are involved.
What evidence may help?
Useful evidence can include photographs of the scene, photographs of your bike and equipment, dashcam or helmet camera footage, witness details, police details, medical records, repair estimates, receipts, GPS data, Strava or Garmin activity data, and details of any lost earnings.
You do not need to have everything before contacting us. We can explain what may be useful and what can be requested later.
Do I need to decide straight away?
No. A free initial discussion can help you understand your options before deciding whether to make a claim.
We will explain whether we may be able to help, what evidence may be needed, how the claim process works, and what the likely next steps would be.
Clear fees from the outset
If we can act for you under a no win, no fee agreement, our standard success fee is 25% inclusive of VAT.
We explain our fees clearly before you decide whether to proceed. We do not add hidden extras or require you to take out ATE insurance as part of our standard personal injury service.
