Cycle Accident Advice

Cycling in York is usually a pleasant experience. There are scenic cycle paths, country roads and generally good on-road cycle lanes. York is full of historic buildings and green spaces and the picturesque river Ouse and river Foss run right through the centre. There is also the York to Selby cycle route which includes a scale model of the cycle system and is very popular with leisure cyclists. However, there are several cycle accident hot spots in York where cyclists need to be careful. Junctions and traffic lights can be particularly dangerous as drivers may not look properly for cyclists.

Cycling in Doncaster is a popular and enjoyable activity. With a variety of cycle routes on offer, Doncaster has seen a steady increase in the number of cyclists on its roads. Given the DCAP’s ongoing efforts to spread cycle safety awareness, it is surprising to learn there has been a rise in cycle accidents occurring in the Doncaster area. With issues such as other road users driving dangerously and local councils neglecting road surfaces following the recent severe winters, cyclists today are extremely vulnerable and should speak to an expert lawyer if they have been involved in a cycle accident.

As cyclists in the Thirsk area well know, the need to expect the unexpected on North Yorkshire’s roads is paramount to ensure you remain safe on your bicycle. Other road users may not always see a cyclist and this can result in dangerous cycle accidents occurring. Cyclists can then feel isolated when it comes to their right to make a claim for compensation as they generally do not have insurance that would provide immediate assistance, such as in car accidents. That is where we come to their help, providing understanding expert legal advice on a ‘no win no fee basis’.

In a city famous for its popular cycle routes, cycle accidents on the roads have become all too common in Birmingham. The amount of cyclists now using Birmingham’s roads has inevitably increased and despite the Council’s efforts to increase road safety through the provision of information online and the Cycling and Walking Map of Birmingham, cyclists remain vulnerable to the dangers other road users present and the continuing dangerous road conditions. Cyclists who have been involved in a cycle accident should speak to a specialist cycle accident solicitor about their right to make a claim for compensation for their injuries.
