Cycling injuries we handle

Injury types we can help with

Even a "minor" collision can leave you with injuries that take months to recover from. Whatever you're dealing with, we've handled claims like yours before, and we'll fight for every penny you're owed.

Head Brain

Head injuries & concussion

From mild concussion to traumatic brain injury. Even a "minor" head knock can affect your memory, concentration, and ability to work.

Broken Bone

Broken bones & fractures

Arms, legs, ribs, collarbones — cyclists hit the tarmac hard. These injuries mean months off work, surgery, and lengthy rehabilitation.

Spine

Spinal & back injuries

Neck injuries, spinal damage, and back trauma that can change your life forever. The worst-case scenario that every cyclist fears.

Wound

Road rash & surface injuries

Deep abrasions that are extremely painful and take weeks to heal properly. Road rash often leaves permanent scarring.

Muscle

Joint & muscle damage

Dislocated shoulders, torn ligaments, strained muscles. Your body wasn't designed to absorb the impact of hitting a car bonnet.

Mental Health

Psychological trauma

Anxiety, nightmares, fear of cycling again. The mental impact is a real injury that deserves real compensation. We make sure it's included.

Important information

1 If your claim succeeds, a success fee of 42% incl. VAT will be charged. If you cancel after the 14-day cancellation period, a cancellation fee may apply.

Common questions

Cycling accident claims FAQ

Everything you need to know about making a bike accident claim. Can't find your answer? Call us on 0333 006 8282.

If someone else caused your bike accident, through careless driving, poor road maintenance, or negligent behaviour, you absolutely deserve compensation. As a cyclist, you're exposed in ways car drivers never are. No airbags, no crumple zones.

We see cyclists struggling with anxiety, medical bills mounting up, and time off work with no income. None of that should be your burden to bear alone. Call us on 0333 006 8282. It's No Win, No Fee¹.

Yes, you absolutely can claim if someone else caused your cycling accident. Whether it's a careless driver, poor road conditions, or someone opening a car door into your path, if it wasn't your fault, you deserve compensation. Call us on 0333 006 8282 and we'll talk you through the next step.

Compensation varies hugely depending on your injuries and circumstances. Minor head injuries typically range from £2,070-£11,980, while serious injuries can be worth much more. You can also claim for lost earnings, medical bills, and bike repairs on top of injury compensation.

No, not wearing a helmet won't affect your cycling accident claim. Helmets aren't legally required in the UK, so your compensation won't be reduced if you weren't wearing one. Not wearing a helmet does not reduce your right to claim — liability is determined by the circumstances of the accident.

You can still get compensation through the Motor Insurers' Bureau (MIB). They handle cycling accident claims when uninsured or untraced drivers cause accidents, so you still have a route to claim compensation.

You don't need to know who hit you. You don't need their number plate. The system is designed to protect cyclists like you when drivers flee the scene.

You have three years from your accident date to start your claim. Don't wait though. Evidence disappears and witnesses forget details over time. If you're approaching that deadline, get in touch immediately as we might still be able to help.

Cycling accidents remain a serious problem on UK roads. According to Department for Transport statistics (2022), over 15,000 cyclists were injured on UK roads, with more than 4,000 suffering serious injuries. Tragically, 91 cyclists were killed that year.

These numbers highlight why it's so important to claim the compensation you're entitled to if you've been injured in a cycling accident that wasn't your fault.
