If you are unfortunate enough to be involved in a cycle accident, stay calm. Seek medical help if you need it. Even if you have minor injuries, you may wish to speak to your GP as soon as possible so that any injuries can be looked at. If there was a vehicle involved in the cycle accident, try to get the registration number, insurance details and the name and address of the driver. Also, get the details of any witnesses. If the cycle accident was caused by a road defect, try to get photographic evidence. Make sure you have documented and photographed any damage to your bike before you get it repaired. It is a good idea to speak to a solicitor whilst the details of the cycle accident are still fresh in your mind. Make sure the solicitor you choose has experience in this area and a proven track record of success in cycle accident compensation claims. A good solicitor will pursue the detailed evidence and witness statements that you will need for a successful case and will discuss your case openly with you without pressurising you. If you decide to submit a claim for compensation, the amount you receive will depend on proving blame and the injuries and losses incurred. Macks are experts in cycle accident compensation claims. We are available to speak to you about your accident and the possibility of submitting a claim for compensation. A compensation payment could be used to repair your bike or perhaps buy a new one and will also cover any other expenses or losses you may have incurred.
