What Will The Independent Inspection Do?

The inspector will conduct tests and produce a report on the damage, with an estimate for the cost of repairs or a replacement, if necessary.

Alternatively, you can appoint a bike shop of your choice to prepare the report and quote for repairs. We can then seek an early interim payment to enable you to return to cycling as soon as possible.

Replacing Damaged Clothing

In addition to your injuries, it’s likely that your clothing and accessories will have been damaged in the cycle accident.

Specialist cycle clothing, such as high-visibility or waterproof clothing, can be expensive. We will seek the cost of replacing this on your behalf.

Can I Claim For Damaged Kit?

Yes. Any items that have been damaged as a result of the accident can form part of your claim.

This includes clothing and equipment such as your helmet, lights, cameras, laptops and cycling monitors, in addition to a claim for the bike itself.

What Else Can I Do To Help With My Claim?

If you arrange for your bicycle to be repaired or replaced, it’s important that you retain evidence of the damage, such as photographs, and obtain a report from the repairer.

You must also keep any receipts for the expenses you incur, so these can be included as part of your claim.
