Getting knocked off your bike is at best an unpleasant experience but at worst could leave you with life-changing injuries and leave your family facing a huge financial burden to look after you. As a cyclist you probably don’t have insurance cover – unlike most other motorists – so you might feel that after an accident, you don’t have anywhere to turn for help.
Fortunately, My Cycling Claim was created for just this kind of situation. As a legal service specifically for cyclists, our bike accident solicitors will be able to provide an accident management service that will get you the cycling accident compensation that you deserve for your injuries. At the same time we will sort out repairs to your bike and the replacement or repair of any valuables, cycling equipment or clothing you had on you at the time of the accident.
Our specialist bike compensation claims service was created to help cyclists who have been injured in accidents where they were not to blame. As experienced road accident lawyers we understand that after an accident, cyclists may feel that they are in a David vs. Goliath situation facing the insurance companies that represent other motorists. Using our legal expertise and our experience dealing with these insurance companies we will fight for you to receive the maximum possible compensation for your particular case.
Helping you through the bike accident compensation process
Making a bike accident claim can be a confusing process, especially if you try to go it alone without expert legal advice from a cycling accident solicitor. At My Cycling Claim we will work on your behalf to secure your compensation, handling all aspects of your claim from the initial paperwork right through until you receive your compensation cheque. Whilst we work on your behalf, we will of course keep you fully updated on the developments in your claim and the progress we have made.
Your bike accident claim will usually begin with a phone conversation with one of our cycling accident claims advisors. The claims advisor will take down the details of your claim and pass them to one of our solicitors or legally qualified staff. A face-to-face appointment will be arranged where one of our representatives will come out to see you at a time and location that is convenient to you to explain the claims process and to get signed authorisation allowing us to act on your behalf when we make your bike accident compensation claim.
From then on, your claim will be handled by our bike accident lawyers. We will arrange for you to undergo a medical as part of your claim – so that a doctor can prepare a report on your injuries which will be used as evidence in your claim. We will also contact the insurance company whose policyholder was responsible for your accident to push them to make an offer of compensation as quickly as possible.
If an offer is received, then we will contact you immediately and advise you whether we think it is a reasonable offer. If our cycling accident solicitors feel you would benefit from taking your claim to court then we will advise you to do so and a judge will decide on the level of compensation you receive.
