- Lacerations and cuts to the skin.
- Bruising and swelling — especially to the arms and legs.
- Injuries to the arms and legs, including sprains, strains, and dislocations.

What are the most common causes of bicycle accidents?
Unfortunately, as a cyclist, you are vulnerable to a variety of risks on the road that could lead to injuries.
We’ve seen a variety of bicycle accidents when making cycling crash claims, including:
- Collisions with other road users: This is the most common cause of cycling injuries and often results from other drivers’ lack of awareness of cyclists.
- Loss of control: Cyclists can lose control of their bicycle when forced to swerve, brake quickly, or take other evasive action due to another vehicle.
- Poorly maintained roads: Potholes, uneven surfaces, and other road hazards can cause cyclists to lose control and crash. You may be eligible to make a claim against the council for this.
- Speeding: Speeding drivers have less time to react to cyclists and are more likely to cause serious injuries in a collision.
- Drink/drug drivers: Drivers under the influence of drink or drugs can also pose a threat to cyclists as well as other motorists due to a lack of awareness and control.
- Blind spots: Drivers of large vehicles, like HGVs, may be unable to see cyclists in their blind spots, resulting in a bike collision with the vehicle.
If you have suffered an injury in a cycling accident, we are here to help. As specialist personal injury solicitors, we regularly help cyclists get the compensation they deserve for their injuries.

What evidence do I need for bike accident claims?
Gathering the correct evidence is crucial when making a personal injury claim for a cycling accident. In fact, it could be the difference between an eligible claim or not. With years of experience supporting cyclists with bicycle injury claims, we know how traumatic this process can be.
To help support your claim, we’ve put together a list of evidence you will need to begin your cycling accident claim. If possible, try to provide us with the following details:
- The exact location, date, and time of the accident, along with a description of the road and weather conditions at the time.
- Medical records from your GP or the hospital outlining your cycling injuries. It is important to visit a doctor or the hospital as soon as possible, even if you only appear to have minor injuries.
- Any police reports that document the incident.
- Any pictures of the scene — especially if the accident resulted from a poorly maintained road.
- Any CCTV footage that shows the incident.
- Details of your own and the other parties’ registration and insurance company details.
