Cycling accident claims

Cycling has long been an enjoyable pastime and means of transport for many. With the cost of living and fuel increases many people now depend upon cycling as a more cost efficient mode of transport.

As a cyclist you want to feel as safe as possible and it is extremely unsettling if you are unfortunate to have been injured in an accident.

Cyclists who are knocked off their bike are more likely to be killed or seriously injured than anyone in a motor vehicle crash. Cyclists can sustain substantial injuries during an accident and suffer long term physical and financial hardship.

We have the best cycling accident solicitors who are cyclists and experts in the field of cycling law, who can help you get the compensation you deserve.

The law places a burden on a motorist to drive with due care and attention. Motorists however can often fail to fulfil this requirement to the detriment of cyclists. Motorists can turn out of junctions without looking properly, overtake when it is not safe to do so and fail to leave sufficient space for cyclists when carrying out manoeuvres. The Highway Code was updated in 2022 to reflect the vulnerability of cyclists on the road therefore we hope this will increase safety for cyclists.

Potholes or other road defects can also cause a significant risk to a cyclist. Bicycle accident compensation claims can be made against the relevant Authority in charge of maintaining the road.

The increase in electric cars on the road also pose a risk of increased accidents as their quiet engines can result in a lack of awareness of their presence, resulting in a bike injury claim which we can assist you with as cycling accident claims solicitors.

Having an accident as a cyclist can also result in significant psychological effects. If you rely upon cycling as your mode of transport then the fear of having another accident can significantly affect your ability to get back on the road as well as the physical implications of cycling when injured. By no longer being able to cycle to work you may incur financial hardship. Our cycling injury solicitors can seek an interim payment for your bike damage to assist you in this situation.

We understand that cycling equipment and accessories can be very expensive, if you’re involved in an accident that isn’t your fault its only right that you get compensation not only for your injuries but also your bike.

If cycling was your hobby then the worry of another accident can overtake your enjoyment. As cyclists ourselves our cycle accident solicitors understand these feelings and, if recommended, can assist by arranging appropriate treatment such as CBT as part of your claim.

One of our specialist Bike injury Solicitors will be able to tell you in minutes if you will be able to make a bike injury claim.

Call us today for a FREE consultation and if you do pursue a compensation claim we will represent you on a NO WIN NO FEE basis for your cycling accident.

E-scooters accident claims

E-Scooter riders - E-scooter accident claims

Have you been injured in an accident with an e-scooter? If you’ve been knocked off while riding or hit by an e-scooter whilst riding or as a pedestrian you could be entitled to compensation.

Since the government introduced e-scooter trials in 2020 we’ve seen more and more appear on UK roads and cycle paths. E-scooters are an economic and environmental alternative mode of transport and are particularly utilised in congested towns.

As an e-scooter rider you are a vulnerable road user and therefore your protection is of vast importance. The nature of an e-scooter creates significant risk of injury as there is an ability to encompass serious traumatic injury such as brain injury, fractures and even fatality.

Protective headgear is not mandatory therefore this can lead to more serious injuries if a rider has an accident.

Training is not required for an e-scooter rider therefore this could result in e-scooters being ridden unsafely putting both the rider and other road users at risk.

The instability of an e-scooter could cause the rider to fall off, acceleration and deceleration of the scooter requires significant control from a rider without which could result in an accident or collision.

Whilst e-scooters are intended to be ridden on the road, signs have not been put in place to provide awareness for safety to e-scooter riders and other road users.

Surface defects on roads risk injury occurring to an e-scooter rider just as they create the same risk to cyclists.

E-scooters are capable of reaching speeds of 15mph and are silent meaning that as a pedestrian you could be unaware of an e-scooter’s approach.

If you have been injured as a result of the unsafe driving of an e-scooter then seek to obtain the contact details of the rider, details of the owner or local Council that the e-scooter has been rented from and any insurance details if possible.

If you have suffered injury as a result of an unidentified e-scooter rider then you can still seek compensation via the Motor Insurers Bureau.

If you have been injured in an e-scooter accident Dunne & Co Solicitors can help.

One of our specialist Solicitors will be able to tell you in minutes if you will be able to make a claim. Call us today for a FREE consultation and if you do pursue a claim we will represent you on a NO WIN NO FEE basis.
