Whether the result is a simple fracture or catastrophic injury such as an amputation, if you have been involved in an accident it can have a severe impact on you and your family. From health worries to loss of income, the aftermath of such an injury can be both worrying and distressing.
If you’ve been involved in a cycling or bike accident that wasn’t your fault, you may be entitled to compensation for any injuries suffered, as well as the financial losses you have incurred. At Hodge Jones & Allen, our experienced bicycle injury lawyers are waiting to help, bringing the expertise you need to make a successful cyclist compensation claim.
We specialise in helping cyclists who have suffered serious injuries and work with families and medical professionals as a team to make sure our clients’ needs are addressed.
To make a cycle accident claim, it’s important to act fast. After your accident, a claim must be brought within three years of the date you suffered an injury or three years of you being aware that you have suffered an injury.
The first step in any claim for cycling or biking accidents is to seek medical attention for any injuries. From there, you should also look to note down as much as you can remember about the accident, including what happened and who was involved. You should also look to collect the names, addresses and contact details of anyone involved in the accident, and anyone who saw it.
After this, if you can, you should take photographs of the scene of the accident to show what happened, and contact the police to file a report, which can help support your claim for cycling accident compensation.
Finally, you should contact a specialist solicitor as soon as possible to start the claim process. Call our team of experienced solicitors who will give you a no obligation consultation and advise you on the next steps you should take.
The team will assess your case based on the information provided and seek to find any additional evidence that may support your case.

I was unfortunately hit by a car door whilst cycling, resulting in severe injuries to my hand. After phoning HJA, Anne Sanders assisted me with my case. She was professional and highly knowledgeable, which made me feel at ease. I am very happy with the outcome of the case, and recommend HJA.

As the clocks go back and visibility decreases, GloWeek 2026 reminds us of the vital role road safety plays in protecting children. While simple steps such as wearing bright and reflective clothing can help prevent accidents, the consequences of a serious road traffic collision can be life-changing. We explore the lasting impact of childhood brain injuries, the support available to affected families, and how legal advice can help secure rehabilitation and long-term care.
When a child is seriously injured, the effects are felt across the entire family. Alongside the emotional and practical challenges of recovery, parents must navigate a personal injury claims process that differs significantly from adult claims. This article explains the role of a Litigation Friend, Infant Approval Hearings, the wider impact of childhood injuries on family life, and the support available to help children and their families through recovery.
