Bicycle Road Accident And Injury Compensation Claims

Many of us like to cycle to work, as a leisure activity, go for weekend bike rides or simply as part of an exercise plan.  For the most part we encounter no serious accidents but unfortunately some cyclists are involved in road accidents and can sustain minor and major injuries.

Drivers are often unaware or sometimes complacent about cyclists on the road and this often results in many close scares and accidents between the two.  Even where there are cycle paths and designated cycle areas, drivers can be negligent in not allowing enough room for riders.

Cycling to work in early morning rush hour or on your way back home can be the most dangerous time.  Traffic is at its highest and so are the tempers and patience of drivers.

Children are also vulnerable when riding their bicycles in the street or out on a family bike ride.  Often drivers don’t see them and don’t slow down when passing them.

After a road accident, both the cyclist and the driver should stop and report the incident to the police.  Where possible both parties should swap contact details and in particular the cyclist should obtain the insurance details from the driver of the car or vehicle.

As the cyclist, you may be unsure as to what you can do in order to claim compensation.  A minor injury can leave the cyclist dazed, bruised and left with a few scrapes.  More serious injuries can result in broken bones, trauma and possible disability.

Regardless of the severity of your injury, Pinstripe can help you claim the compensation you deserve for your injuries and for any out of pocket expenses you may have incurred.
