FAQ’s
Can I Claim If The Motorist Didn’t Stop?
If you were knocked off your bike and the motorist didn’t stop or you couldn’t get their registration details, you can still apply for compensation if the driver was negligent. Your claim would be made against the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB). If the motorist is later identified but is uninsured, you can still pursue your claim through the MIB.
Can I Claim For A Cycle Accident If I Was Partially To Blame?
Even if you think that you were partially to blame for your accident, you may still be able to claim compensation. In some circumstances your damages may be reduced to reflect your partial responsibility.
Can I Claim If There Are No Witnesses To My Bike Accident?
Yes, you can still apply for compensation even if there are no witnesses and the motorist denies responsibility or fails to stop.
Our specialist solicitors can help gather evidence to prove negligence, using photos, body camera footage and police reports if available. We can also help you check for CCTV or door camera footage.
Since the police may not gather all the evidence needed for a claim, it’s best to contact us promptly so we can start our investigation.
How Soon Should I Start A Claim For My Bike Accident?
There is usually a three-year limitation period to bring a compensation claim. The time runs from the date of the accident.
There are various rules around time limits, so we recommend starting your claim as soon as possible.
What Compensation Will I Receive?
Your compensation depends on the severity of your injuries and their impact on your life. At Cyclinglawyer, we’ll work closely with you and obtain the necessary medical evidence to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
Your compensation claim will include a figure for pain and suffering, alongside any current or future loses and expenditure. In serious injury cases your future expenditure could include the cost of making adaptations to your home or retraining for a different career.

With our no win, no fee service, you only pay our legal fees if your claim is successful. We will keep you informed throughout the process, aiming to make your claim as stress-free as possible.
