At Harris Fowler Solicitors, we understand how traumatic and life-altering a cycling accident can be. Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or simply commuting to work, you have every right to feel safe on the roads.
Unfortunately, accidents involving cyclists are all too common in England and Wales, often resulting in serious injuries and long-term consequences.
If you’ve been injured while cycling due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation and we’re here to help guide you through that process.
Common Causes of Cycling Accidents
Cycling accidents can occur for a number of reasons, many of which involve a third party, such as:
- Motorists failing to give adequate space or attention
- Poorly maintained roads or defective surfaces
- Opening of car doors into a cyclist’s path (“dooring”)
- Dangerous junctions or cycle lanes
- Hit-and-run incidents
If any of the above contributed to your injury, we can help you build a case to prove fault and secure the compensation you deserve.
What Can You Claim For?
A personal injury claim is not just about the injury itself it’s about the impact on your life. Depending on your circumstances, you may be able to claim for:
- Pain and suffering (physical and psychological)
- Loss of earnings (past and future)
- Damage to your bicycle and personal property
- Travel expenses related to your recovery
- Future care and support
At Harris Fowler, we assess every aspect of your case to ensure that your claim reflects the full extent of your losses.
