How Much Compensation Can Be Paid In Bicycle Accident Injury Claims?
After a bicycle accident, the compensation you might receive is divided into two categories:
– General damages are for the pain and suffering caused by your physical and mental injuries. To help determine this amount, lawyers often use the Judicial College Guidelines, which suggest compensation brackets for various injuries.
– Special damages cover the financial losses you’ve experienced as a result of the accident, such as lost wages or medical bills.
When a bicycle accident solicitor works out how much compensation you might get for your injuries, they often look at the Judicial College Guidelines. This book provides a range of suggested compensation amounts for various types of injuries.
Just remember, these aren’t a guarantee. The amount you actually receive will depend on the specific details of your own bicycle accident case, as every claim is looked at individually.

Frequently Asked Questions
Am I eligible to make a cycling injury claim?
If you sustained injuries in a bicycle accident that wasn't your fault, you may be eligible for cycling injury compensation. To pursue a successful bicycle accident claim, your bicycle accident lawyer must demonstrate that the cycling crash resulted from another party's negligence.
The negligent party might be another motorist, a pedestrian, or a local council if your bicycle accident occurred due to poor road maintenance (such as potholes).
You must also establish that your cycling injuries were directly caused by the bicycle crash.
To initiate a bicycle accident claim, your cycling accident must have occurred within the past 3 years, although many bicycle accident lawyers prefer not to handle cases approaching this 3-year deadline.
What is the cycling injury claims process?
The bicycle accident claims process begins with a complimentary consultation with a bicycle accident lawyer. Your solicitor will evaluate your cycling injury claim and establish whether another party's negligence caused your bicycle crash. Your bicycle accident attorney will collect evidence to support your cycling accident claim, inform the other party (and their insurer), and enquire whether they accept liability for your bicycle accident.
If liability is accepted, your bicycle accident lawyer will negotiate your cycling injury compensation based on your injuries, how the bicycle crash has affected your life and employment, and financial losses stemming from the cycling accident. Most bicycle accident cases settle without court proceedings, often under a no win, no fee arrangement, meaning you only pay legal costs if your cycling injury claim succeeds. If you have enquiries about the bicycle accident claims process, you can speak to an adviser on 07852378769 or request a callback.
How much compensation can I claim for a cycling injury?
Compensation for a UK cycling injury claim includes general and special damages.
General damages cover the pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life you have experienced as a result of your accident. General damages are based on Judicial College guidelines, with higher awards for more severe and disruptive injuries.
Special damages compensate for the financial losses and expenses you have incurred as a result of your accident. These costs can include lost earnings, medical costs, and property damage-related expenses, like bike repairs and replacement gear.
Together, general and special damages address the personal and financial impact of your injury.
Call us to find out what losses you can claim for, on 07852378769, or arrange a callback.
How much time do I have to start an Injury claim?
If you were over 18 years old when your bicycle accident occurred, legally you have 3 years from the cycling accident date to commence your bicycle accident claim. If you were under 18 when your cycling crash happened, you have until your 21st birthday to pursue cycling injury compensation.
However, since properly evaluating a bicycle accident claim requires time, many bicycle accident lawyers will not take on your case if you're approaching the deadline.
Generally, it's advisable to begin the bicycle accident claims process as soon as possible. This allows your bicycle accident lawyer additional time to collect evidence supporting your cycling injury claim and to negotiate the optimal cycling accident settlement.
To discover how much time remains for your bicycle accident claim, or for a second opinion if your cycling injury case has been declined elsewhere, call our bicycle accident lawyers on 07852378769 or arrange a callback.
Can I claim compensation for a cycling injury at work?
By law, employers have a duty of care to ensure safe working conditions by providing adequate safety equipment, training, and reasonable work environments.
If your employer failed to meet their legal obligations, and you sustained a bicycle accident injury as a result, your employer may be liable for your cycling injuries. This liability can include bicycle crashes that were "your fault", if the cycling accident resulted from inadequate training or insufficient supervision.
You can also pursue bicycle accident compensation if your cycling injuries were caused or aggravated because your employer failed to provide proper safety gear. Your bicycle accident lawyer can help determine if your employer's negligence contributed to your cycling crash and pursue appropriate cycling injury compensation.
Can I claim for loss of earnings after a cycling injury?
Yes. If a cycling injury has prevented you from working, you can claim for lost earnings through your bicycle accident compensation. This includes income lost during your recovery period and potential future losses if your cycling injuries affect your long-term ability to work.
To support your bicycle accident claim, your bicycle accident lawyer will explain what evidence you need to provide (such as payslips, tax returns, or business records), alongside medical evidence demonstrating how your cycling crash injuries limit your work capacity.
