Bicycle Accidents.

Bicycle Accident Solicitors: Cycling Accident Claims & Bike Injury Claims.

The number of cyclists on Britain’s roads is at an all-time high, which unfortunately means the number of accidents involving bicycles is also on the rise.

If you, or a member of your family, have been hit by a car when riding your bike or been injured in a bicycle accident, you could be entitled to compensation.

The team of specialist road traffic accident solicitors here at Lanyon Bowdler can talk you through the process, helping you to claim compensation for your injuries, as well as any pain and suffering caused by the accident.

Making a Bicycle Accident Claim

It is a sad fact that the number of accidents involving bicycles is increasing, with the vast majority of incidents involving other vehicles. Drivers often don’t see cyclists because they are more difficult to spot in amongst traffic, and while drivers are used to checking for other cars, lorries and vans, they don’t always remember to watch for cyclists.

However, bicycle accidents can also be caused by poor road surfaces as well as the negligence of other road users. Cyclists can easily be thrown off their bike by a pothole or some other road defect, causing serious injury. If you are involved in an accident of this nature, you could be able to claim compensation from the council responsible.

Rachel Dodwell
Community Case Management Services Ltd

As a case manager I work closely with litigation teams to ensure our clients get the expertise, support and care they need to bring them back to as close to their life pre-injury as possible. This is very often not an easy journey, and balancing the desires of the client to live their best life with collating and presenting the facts of how that life is altered, can be very challenging. Having worked alongside Lanyon Bowdler’s team for many years, I have noted it is always easier to strike this balance, when they are involved.

Shelley Lewis
AJ Case Management

Having worked with a succession of personal injury specialists at Lanyon Bowdler over the years, I have seen at first hand the top-flight legal expertise that they bring to every case and the commitment to obtaining the absolutely best result for every client. Equally importantly, I am struck by the compassion, empathy and humanity with which every client is treated. They go above and beyond to ensure their clients receive the very best representation.

Anthony Reddiford
Guildhall Chambers

The team at Lanyon Bowdler show an exceptional knowledge and understanding of their client’s needs, not just in terms of the claim that they lead, but also the emotional and personal experiences that they will have on that journey.

Jenny Whittall

Lanyon Bowdler provide seamless ongoing emotional support, information and guidance to their clients over what may be many years of a PI claim. This significantly helps mitigate the “stress” of a claim for their clients, and in my medicolegal experience puts them way ahead of other legal firms.

Professor Tony Elliott
Director UK Centre for Medico-Legal Studies

Contacted Lanyon Bowdler six months after an injury at work. They offered me several of their services, including no win no fee which I ended up choosing. The solicitor was extremely helpful, was always keeping me updated when there was news and answered promptly when asked for any updates or when I asked any questions. I was very happy with the final settlement and the advice I received proved to be the best for my case. I felt like the extra bit of care was extended to give me a good idea of the options I had to choose from which really helped to inform any decision.

From my initial approach to the final positive outcome I felt my solicitor was expending all his energy to win the case. I was kept informed throughout and was given straightforward advice on how to proceed. The end result was an acceptable outcome and the pay-out was prompt.
