If you or a member of your family have been injured as a result of a bike accident through no fault of your own then it is advisable to obtain prompt legal advice from a solicitor who specialises in bike accident compensation claims. It is also important that you obtain the details of anyone else involved in your accident as it may be difficult to pursue a personal injury compensation claim without them.
If you are involved in a bike accident then there are a number of things that you should do if you are not prevented from doing so by your injuries:
- If another vehicle is involved, write down the registration number and try to obtain any other third party information such as insurance details etc.
- Obtain the names and addresses of any witnesses.
After being involved in a bike accident it is also advisable to do the following:
- If you were not taken to hospital at the time of the accident, visit the hospital or your GP if you are concerned about the nature of your injuries.
- Get your bike checked over and get any damage that might have been caused repaired, taking a note of what the damages were for the purposes of any claim you may make.
You can claim for bike accident compensation if you have been injured as the result of poorly maintained roads or have been involved in an accident with another vehicle, even if for any reason you were unable to obtain full details of the other party.
The compensation you receive will be for your injuries, the cost of medical fees and any other losses, including loss of earnings and any damage to your bicycle and cycling equipment.
If you have been involved in a bike accident and are unsure if you have a case to make a claim for bike accident compensation Macks Solicitors will be happy to give you free, confidential advice without any obligation. Even if you may have been partially to blame it is still possible, in some instances, to bring a successful claim against the other party. However, in such claims the amount of compensation will be based according to the proportion of blame.
