At My Cycling Claim we understand that being involved in a cycling accident can have a massive impact on your life. Our cycling claims solicitors have dealt with accident claims ranging from people who suffered only relatively minor injuries in their accident right up to those whose lives have been changed as a result of the injuries they have suffered. The My Cycling Claim service is designed to help cyclists however serious their injuries and however severe the impact those injuries have had on their lives.
Medical Assessment
When you make a cycling accident compensation claim with My Cycling Claim, we will arrange for you to undergo a thorough medical examination, free of charge. This medical, which will take place at a doctor’s surgery or consultation room, will involve a doctor assessing your injuries and asking you a few short questions about how your injuries have affected your daily routine and your ability to work. The doctor will then prepare a medical report listing your injuries and the effect they have had on your life. This medical report will form an important part of your cycling compensation claim as insurance companies and the courts will base any offers of injury compensation on the injuries listed in the report.
Your medical assessment is also a chance for you to receive expert advice on other potential treatments for your injuries, or therapies (such as physiotherapy) that may aid your recovery. Based on the recommendations made by the doctor at your medical assessment, your cycling claim solicitor may include the costs of these specialist treatments as part of your cycling compensation claim, either in the total amount or as an interim payment before the final settlement of your claim. In some cases, we may arrange for you to see a doctor or other medical professional who specializes in the treatment or management of your particular injury.
Claiming for damaged valuables
If your cycling accident took place at speed, or if a large or fast moving vehicle hit you, the chances are that as well as being injured, your bike has probably suffered some level of damage. At My Cycling Claim, our accident solicitors can also include the value of any items that were lost or damaged in your accident into the total amount you are claiming. This could include any items of clothing that were damaged in the accident, including specialist cycle-wear. Also the cost of repairing or replacing any equipment you might have had fitted to your bike, such as panniers can also be included in your claim.
Repairing and replacing your bike
Here at My Cycling Claim, we know that as a cyclist, your bike may very well be your main mode of transport and that if your bike is out of action after your accident, it can be just as inconvenient as losing the use of a car can be for a motorist. The My Cycling Claim team provide a complete accident management service to cyclists who have been left without the use of a bike after an accident which was not their fault. Working with bicycle repair shops and hire companies, we can arrange for your bike to be repaired (or if it is a total write-off, for you to receive compensation or a replacement) and for a hire bike to be provided until your own is returned to you. The cost of this complete service will be included in your claim, so you will not have to pay out a penny.
