Can I Make A No Win No Fee Cycling Accident Claim?
We handle most cycling accident claims on a no win no fee basis, ensuring minimal financial risk for you. If successful, your opponent covers the majority of your legal costs, with the remainder deducted from your settlement. If you do not receive compensation, you incur no costs at all.
If a no win no fee arrangement is not viable, alternative payment options such as legal expenses insurance may be available, possibly included in your home or vehicle insurance plans. During your free initial consultation, our road traffic accident experts can advise on the most suitable payment method for your case.
Let us assist you through this challenging time and help you get the compensation you deserve.
What Is a Personal Injury Claim?
A personal injury claim is a legal process to seek compensation for an injury caused by someone else’s negligence. If you’ve been harmed due to another’s actions, like a car accident, you can file a claim to recover damages. This compensation may cover medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional distress. It’s crucial to prove the other party’s negligence, and consulting a personal injury lawyer can help navigate this process effectively.

We firmly believe that if you've sustained injuries in a cycling accident due to someone else's negligence, you deserve an apology and compensation to alleviate the financial burdens of your recovery.
