How to File a Cycling Accident Claim in the United Kingdom

A recent study conducted by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (ROSPA) has revealed some stunning insights on cycling accidents in the United Kingdom. More than 18,000 cycling enthusiasts are either killed or seriously injured every year across the country. This casualty figure could be much higher because numerous cycling accidents are not reported to the police by the victims. 

Initiating a Bicycle Accident Claim

Stop worrying about your injuries and learn to fight back. Hire a professional Personal Injury Solicitor if you are the victim of a bicycle accident. Making a bicycle accident claim is not difficult or expensive. All you need to do is provide important information like the name of the driver involved in the collision, the registration number of the vehicle, date of the accident, residential address of the driver, and brand name of the vehicle to your personal injury solicitor. Additional information like contact number of the driver, make of the vehicle, insurance firm name, injury details, and insurance policy number can be very helpful to your solicitors. Don’t forget to attach the proof of financial expenses incurred because of the accident. Your solicitor will then analyse this information and investigate with the police to begin your personal injury claim. 

Settlement

Once your lawyer is satisfied with the case he will initiate a claim letter to the accused. The claim letter will have comprehensive information about the cycle accident and injury information. The accused has a fixed time frame usually two months to respond to your claims. If he accepts the injury claim then the case can be settled amicably out of court else the case will go to a judge. Remember to act fast after the accident because there are stringent time limits to make your injury claim. There is a three year deadline in the UK to make your personal injury claim. 

High Profile Cycle Accident Cases

Don’t worry if you don’t have enough funds to initiate a claim. There are non-profit private institutions that can help you out if you have a solid case. Even some solicitors cover most of your legal costs. Cycle accidents are on the rise and they are making headlines. An innocent cyclist who lost his leg in an accident received over £700,000 in compensation recently. An East Yorkshire resident received more than £190,000 after he was seriously injured when a road sweeper knocked him down unconscious. Use the services of an experienced personal injury solicitor and get the compensation you deserve.
