With rising fuel costs and increasing environmental concerns, cycling is becoming a more popular mode of transport. This does however mean the number of accidents involving cyclists is increasing. Another important factor is that the nation’s roads are falling into increasing levels of disrepair with potholes, which can be the cause of accidents.
Cyclists are vulnerable road users and have less protection on the road than motorists. When cyclists are involved in accidents that were caused by someone else, all too often we see significant injuries being sustained which requires the involvement of a specialist team to pursue the claim on your behalf to assist with organising rehabilitation and the recovery of financial losses you have suffered as a result of the accident. Members of our team are cyclists themselves, so have a breadth of knowledge and cycling experience to assist in the unfortunate event you are involved in an accident as a cyclist that wasn't your fault.
