Bicycle Accident Claims
Despite Local councils everywhere working to make cycling a more convenient and safer way to travel, accidents still happen. Because of the limited amount of protection available, cycling accidents usually result in injuries for the rider.
If you have been injured in a cycling accident that wasn’t your fault, you may be entitled to compensation. Even if you wear protective gear, such as a cycling helmet, you can still sustain serious injuries. Injuries commonly sustained during bicycle accidents include head and spinal injuries, and broken bones.
At Tylers Solicitors, we have extensive experience of dealing with bicycle accident claims. We can help whether you want to claim against the local council for sub standard road maintenance, or another road user. No matter what type of injury you sustain, our expert team can help you claim the compensation you deserve.
To start your no-win, no-fee bicycle accident compensation claim, contact Tylers Solicitors today.

- Lacerations, or cuts, to the skin
- Bruising and swelling, especially of the arms and legs
- Injuries to the arms and legs, such as sprains, strains, and dislocations

What are the Most Common Causes of Bicycle Injuries in the UK?
Cyclists are at risk of injury from a variety of sources, including:
- Collision with other road users: This is the most common cause of cycling injuries, and often result from other drivers’ lack of awareness when it comes to cyclists.
- Cyclists often lose control of their cycle when they are forced to swerve, brake quickly, or take other evasive action. If you suffer injury as a result of the actions of another road user you could claim compensation.
- Poorly maintained roads: Potholes, uneven surfaces, and other road hazards can cause cyclists to lose control and crash.
- Speeding: Speeding drivers have less time to react to cyclists and are more likely to cause serious injuries in a collision.
- Drivers under the influence of drink or drugs can also pose a threat to cyclists as well as other motorists.
- Blind spots: Drivers of large vehicles, such as HGVs, may not be able to see cyclists in their blind spots.
