As bike claims lawyers, every day we have people walking into our offices who are living with the terrible consequences of cycling injuries. These include people making bike claims after being hit and suffering injuries as a result of bad driving, or as the result of local authorities’ negligence leading to poor maintenance of roads and dangerous cycling conditions.
Some people say that health and safety has ‘gone mad’. If that is the case, then why are these things still happening?
People need compensation:
Many bike claims are brought because the injuries sustained lead to significant pain and suffering,sometimes resulting in loss of earnings. In the most serious cycle accidents the injured person requires adaptations to their home or a totally new home to improve their quality of life. Round the clock nursing care may also be required as may a specially adapted motor vehicle.
How Can Bike Claims Help My Family?
Bringing a bike claim where you have been injured because of another person’s or local authority’s
mistake can result in compensation being recovered for:
· your injuries (physical and psychological)
· loss of earnings
· specialist equipment
· the repair/pre-accident value of your bike
· the cost of repairing or cleaning clothing or other personal belongings damaged
· prescription costs
. travelling expenses
. private medical treatment
As personal injury lawyers, we provide a service to the community. Many injury claims pursued by us have highlighted serious dangers in the workplace, on the roads,on pavements and in other community spaces. Claims brought against companies, local authorities and others responsible for accidents often results in them ‘cleaning up their act’. Bike claims can result in the problem – a pothole or broken sign – being fixed, thereby preventing another cyclist being hurt in the same way.
At Macks Solicitors we view the bringing of claims arising from a bike accident as a way of properly compensating any one who has been hurt in any way because of another person’s or organisation’s mistake.
