Cycle Injury Claims

Cycle Injury compensation claims

Cycling is healthy, fun, environmentally-friendly, and relatively inexpensive. It provides a perfect solution to traffic congestion, difficult economic times and the need for all to get more exercise.

For all these reasons, (and many more), we are fans of cycling, and particularly in London. London is a great city to use a bicycle because it is generally pretty flat and the vast majority of journeys in London can be done easily by bike. Recently there has been a tremendous surge in participation in cycling in London. New cycling facilities are being provided, and London is becoming a "world class cycling city".

Due to the numbers of people now cycling in London, there are of course unfortunately incidents which occur when cyclists get injured, occasionally seriously. These incidents should be put in perspective because they are rare, and overall the strong health and other benefits of cycling far outweigh the relatively small risk of injury.

However, if you are unfortunate enough to be involved in such an accident, it is important for you to know where you can find expert legal advice to guide you through the process of securing compensation and rehabilitation.

Hodge Jones & Allen have a dedicated team of specialist personal injury lawyers, with unique expertise in helping injured cyclists recover from such unfortunate events. The team is headed by Peter Todd, a specialist personal injury solicitor and active London Cycling Campaign and Roadpeace member.

How do I know if I can make a Cycle Injury claim?

To make a claim for compensation, simply call the freephone number 0800 437 0080 for a confidential, no-obligation discussion or click 'call back' and we will phone you back. We will ask you some details about the accident and the injuries you have sustained and advise you directly whether you have a valid cycle claim or not.

We will explain the process and the options you have so you can decide what you want to do. Our office is located centrally on North Gower Street, near Euston station, and you are welcome to come in and visit us too. We have facilities to communicate with you by phone, email and even text message at your convenience.

We deal with all kinds of incidents from minor collisions right through to catastrophic or even fatal injury and inquests. Whatever is involved, we provide support, guidance & legal representation.

We can help you recover money to repair or replace your bike, to recover your lost earnings, other expenses and get compensation for the injuries, distress and inconvenience you have suffered.

How much will it cost me?

Making a cycle injury compensation claim will cost you nothing, as we will work on a No Win, No Fee agreement. This simply means that you will receive 100% of your compensation if you win and not pay anything if you lose. Our solicitor’s expenses are claimed back from the insurance company of the other party involved.
