On your bike, had an accident? You are not the first and definitely won’t be the last!

The government's great debate about climate change means that by cycling everywhere, you can be guilt free and are reducing your carbon footprint however this will inevitably mean the number of accidents involving cyclists will increase as conversely, it can be a very dangerous way to travel.

When we take into account the lack of dedicated cycle lanes providing general protection, the number of potholes littering our highways and drivers who do not check before pulling out, not to mention the pedestrians who step off the pavement without looking, it is no wonder that cyclists end up being injured.

Whatever your injury, if you have an accident on your bike that is not your fault, you have been injured and those injuries require medical attention, you are entitled to claim compensation for those injuries.
