Cycle Accident Claims

Starting a cycling accident claim is simple. The first step is to contact Claim Time Solicitors for a free consultation, where we listen to your experience, understand your injuries, and confirm whether you have a valid personal injury claim. If your case is eligible, we begin gathering the evidence needed to support your claim, such as medical records, photographs, witness statements, CCTV or dashcam footage, and police reports. We also arrange an independent medical assessment so we can fully understand the impact of your injuries and calculate your compensation accurately.

Once we have the necessary evidence, we submit your claim to the party responsible or to the Motor Insurers’ Bureau in cases involving uninsured or hit-and-run drivers. From there, we handle all communication and negotiations with insurers on your behalf. Your solicitor will keep you updated throughout the process, making everything as smooth and stress-free as possible while you focus on your recovery.

The amount of compensation you may receive depends on several factors, including the severity of your injuries, how long your recovery takes, and the impact the accident has had on your day-to-day life. This can include pain and suffering, time off work, lost income, medical treatment, rehabilitation, and the cost of repairing or replacing your bike and equipment. More serious or long-term injuries generally result in higher compensation because they affect your future mobility, employment, and overall quality of life.

Once we have your medical reports and evidence of your financial losses, we can provide a realistic estimate based on the guidelines used in the UK courts and our experience with similar cycling accident cases. Your solicitor will make sure every aspect of your injury and recovery is properly valued so that your compensation reflects everything you’ve been through.

Yes, you can still make a cycling accident claim even if the driver was uninsured or left the scene. In these situations, the claim is usually submitted through the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB), which compensates people who are injured by uninsured or untraceable drivers. Although the process is slightly different from a standard insurance claim, you may still be entitled to compensation for your injuries, financial losses, and any damage to your bicycle or equipment.

Claim Time Solicitors can guide you through this process by helping you gather the necessary evidence, preparing your claim, and dealing with the relevant parties on your behalf. We aim to make the experience as straightforward as possible and ensure your claim is properly supported, so you can focus on your recovery while we handle the legal steps involved.

Most cycling accident claims are handled on a No Win No Fee basis, which means you won’t pay anything upfront to start your case. If your claim is not successful, you won’t have to pay any legal fees at all, giving you complete peace of mind throughout the process.

If your claim succeeds, a small, pre-agreed percentage is deducted from your compensation to cover the legal costs. Everything is explained clearly at the beginning, with no hidden fees or unexpected charges, so you always know exactly where you stand before moving forward.
