Claim Today has been a personal injury brand specialising in road traffic accidents, including bike and & cycling accidents, for over 20 years and we have the experience and expertise to get you the personal injury compensation and support you need to look ahead to the future.
Serious bike & cycling accident injuries
Due to the nature of riding a bike on the road and how exposed the rider is if an accident happens, bike & cycling accidents can cause very serious injuries.
Serious injuries are best identified by how long they’ve needed treatment for, if you are unable to return to work and how long you are unable to return to work, as well as if you need assistance in completing day-to-day tasks.
Do I have a claim?
Whether you were the rider or a passenger, if you were injured in a bike & cycling accident and you were not at fault, you may be able to claim personal injury compensation.
It is important to have as many details about the accident to hand as possible, so that we can attempt to find the incident on CCTV and build a case. This includes when and where the incident took place, details of those involved, and of any witnesses if you have any.
You can still claim if you were involved in an accident where the driver didn’t have insurance, or if you were involved in a hit and run.
We offer free impartial advice on whether you can make a claim either by completing our online form, or calling our claim team. Alternatively, request a callback.
Cycle accidents caused by a motorist
In order to claim, the accident must have been somebody else’s fault; either the fault of another road user or because of the road conditions.
If your injuries are the fault of another road user (car, motorbike, bus, etc.) then your compensation will come from their insurers rather than them personally
Cycle accidents caused by uninsured drivers or hit and runs
If the accident you were injured in was the fault of an uninsured driver or part of a hit and run then you might still be able to make a claim. If your claim is successful then it will be paid by the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB).
Cycle accidents caused by poor road conditions
If your bike & cycling accident injuries are due to poor road surfaces such as potholes or cracks in the road, then you may be able to make a claim against the Highways Agency or the local council depending on where the road is.
There is someone responsible for every road and pavement in the UK, and if it is unsafe to use and caused your accident, then you may be able to claim.
Personal injury compensation can help ensure that you have what you need to plan for the future and put you back in a situation that is as similar as possible to before the incident.
Compensation is calculated to cover a number of factors including:
the severity and impact of the injury
loss of earnings
costs of treatment
costs of equipment needed for day-to-day living
required aftercare or continuous care
house adjustments (such as ramps, modified rooms)
costs of re-training if a career change is unavoidable
If you have been injured in an accident that was not your fault, you are putting yourself in the best possible position both financially and in terms of finding the correct support going forward by enquiring about claiming personal injury compensation.
Our expert personal injury solicitors and experienced personal injury claim team will be able to breakdown what to expect from a claim and how it is calculated to ensure that any compensation you successfully claim puts you in the best position for now and for you and your family’s future.

What counts as a serious injury?
Serious injuries are best identified by how long they’ve needed treatment for, if you are unable to return to work and how long you are unable to return to work, as well as if you need assistance in completing day-to-day tasks.
If your injury has impacted your life in a way that has set you back financially or it will do so in the future, then it is likely to be serious enough to enquire about making a claim.
The main things that you might be able to claim against are:
care and equipment both current and future;
loss of earnings, as well as potential future earnings if your future progression has been impacted as a result of the injury; and
the loss of being able to participate in activities such as sport or learning particular skills that you are now unable to due to your injury.
Can I start a claim for someone else?
We do receive claim enquiries from people who are calling on behalf of somebody else, mainly parents on behalf of children, or spouses on behalf of their partners – particularly in cases of more serious injuries including comas and brain injuries.
You can certainly start the process on someone else’s behalf, and we will guide you through the steps needed to ensure that it is as simple as possible through this difficult time. You can start by using our online form, requesting a callback, or by calling us
Can I still claim if it's a small claim?
Under the upcoming personal injury reforms in 2020, a more claimants will have to go through the small claims court. Namely those whose injury claims from road traffic accidents are likely to recover £5,000, and £2,000 for other claims. The current threshold for small claims is £1,000.
Most firms will not be able to represent those who go through small claims due to the costs involved, meaning that you would have to take the claim on yourself. We may be able to assist you with making your application, to see if we can call us
