Frequently Asked Questions

If you sustained injuries in a bicycle accident that wasn't your fault, you may be eligible for cycling injury compensation. To pursue a successful bicycle accident claim, your bicycle accident lawyer must demonstrate that the cycling crash resulted from another party's negligence.

The negligent party might be another motorist, a pedestrian, or a local council if your bicycle accident occurred due to poor road maintenance (such as potholes).
You must also establish that your cycling injuries were directly caused by the bicycle crash.

To initiate a bicycle accident claim, your cycling accident must have occurred within the past 3 years, although many bicycle accident lawyers prefer not to handle cases approaching this 3-year deadline.

The bicycle accident claims process begins with a complimentary consultation with a bicycle accident lawyer. Your solicitor will evaluate your cycling injury claim and establish whether another party's negligence caused your bicycle crash. Your bicycle accident attorney will collect evidence to support your cycling accident claim, inform the other party (and their insurer), and enquire whether they accept liability for your bicycle accident.

If liability is accepted, your bicycle accident lawyer will negotiate your cycling injury compensation based on your injuries, how the bicycle crash has affected your life and employment, and financial losses stemming from the cycling accident. Most bicycle accident cases settle without court proceedings, often under a no win, no fee arrangement, meaning you only pay legal costs if your cycling injury claim succeeds.

Together, general and special damages address the personal and financial impact of your injury.

If you were over 18 years old when your bicycle accident occurred, legally you have 3 years from the cycling accident date to commence your bicycle accident claim. If you were under 18 when your cycling crash happened, you have until your 21st birthday to pursue cycling injury compensation.

However, since properly evaluating a bicycle accident claim requires time, many bicycle accident lawyers will not take on your case if you're approaching the deadline.
Generally, it's advisable to begin the bicycle accident claims process as soon as possible. This allows your bicycle accident lawyer additional time to collect evidence supporting your cycling injury claim and to negotiate the optimal cycling accident settlement.

By law, employers have a duty of care to ensure safe working conditions by providing adequate safety equipment, training, and reasonable work environments.
If your employer failed to meet their legal obligations, and you sustained a bicycle accident injury as a result, your employer may be liable for your cycling injuries. This liability can include bicycle crashes that were "your fault", if the cycling accident resulted from inadequate training or insufficient supervision.

You can also pursue bicycle accident compensation if your cycling injuries were caused or aggravated because your employer failed to provide proper safety gear. Your bicycle accident lawyer can help determine if your employer's negligence contributed to your cycling crash and pursue appropriate cycling injury compensation.
