Cyclists involved in road traffic accidents
Cycling accidents have become a frequent occurrence and cyclists are now considered one of the vulnerable road users. If you have sustained an injury due to a road traffic accident, you may have a potential compensation claim against the other party involved.
Did you know?
- Even if a cyclist is partly to blame for an accident, they can still bring a claim provided a driver was partly at fault
- If the cause of your accident is not due to a third party but instead by a defect in the road, Simpson Millar LLP can help you explore the possibilities of recovering compensation
A middle aged gentleman fractured his pelvis and wrist when he was knocked of his
pushbike. He needed surgery to both injuries, both being plated and pinned. He was
off work for quite a few months and subsequently during rehabilitation periods when
he required further surgery. Rehabilitation was arranged for him privately and he
finally settled his case in the sum of £197,750 2 weeks before trial. Settlement
included claims for injury, lost earnings, care and assistance and disadvantage
on the open labour market.
