Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents
The majority of bicycle accidents are caused by external factors, many of which are preventable. Some of the most common causes include:
- Cyclist Negligence:
Cyclist failing to yield to cyclists, speeding, or ignoring traffic laws are the leading causes of bicycle accidents. Accidents can occur when a driver doesn’t give a cyclist enough space on the road or turns without looking. - Poor Road Conditions:
Hazardous road conditions like potholes, uneven surfaces, and debris can make cycling dangerous. If your accident was caused by poor road maintenance, the responsible authority might be liable for your injuries. - Cyclist Error or Negligence:
In some cases, cyclists may be partially at fault for accidents due to reckless behavior, failure to signal, or disobeying traffic rules. However, even in these instances, you might still be able to claim compensation, depending on the circumstances. - Cycling Accidents Involving Other Cyclists:
Collisions between cyclists can happen, particularly in busy or crowded cycling environments. If another cyclist caused your injury due to negligence, you may be able to claim compensation. - Defective Equipment:
Mechanical failures, such as defective brakes or tires, can lead to accidents. In these cases, the manufacturer or seller of the bicycle or its components could be held liable for your injuries. - Weather-Related Accidents:
Weather conditions, such as rain, snow, or fog, can create hazardous cycling conditions. If poor weather conditions led to your accident, you might still be entitled to compensation, especially if road maintenance was inadequate.
Who is Eligible to Make a Bike Accident Claim?
Anyone who has been involved in a cycling accident and suffered injuries may be eligible to make a bike accident claim. Eligibility depends on several factors, including the nature of the accident, the extent of your injuries, and whether the accident was caused by another party’s negligence. If you were hit by a motor vehicle, suffered due to faulty equipment, or experienced an accident caused by poorly maintained roads, you may be eligible for bicycle accident compensation.
You are eligible if you:
- Were injured in a cycling accident within the last three years.
- Can prove the fault of another party (driver, manufacturer, government entity, etc.).
- Suffered physical or psychological injuries as a result of the accident.

Common Bicycle Accident Injuries
Bicycle accidents often result in serious injuries, some of which may have long-lasting or permanent effects.
Some common injuries sustained in bicycle accidents include:
Fractures and Broken Bones: These can range from broken arms and legs to collarbones, ribs, and facial fractures, often requiring surgery or long-term treatment.
Head Injuries and Concussions: Even with a helmet, cyclists are at risk of head injuries in accidents, which can lead to concussions, skull fractures, or brain injuries.
Spinal Cord Injuries: High-speed collisions or crashes that involve vehicles can result in spinal injuries, leading to partial or complete paralysis.
Road Rash and Abrasions: When cyclists are thrown from their bikes, they may suffer severe skin abrasions or road rash.
Internal Injuries: Blunt force trauma from a bicycle accident can cause internal bleeding or damage to organs.
When Can I Make a Bicycle Accident Claim?
You can make a bicycle accident claim as soon as the accident occurs, but it’s crucial to seek legal advice promptly. In the UK, the general rule is that a cycling accident claim must be made within three years of the accident. However, there are exceptions, especially if the injury was not immediately apparent or if the victim is a minor.
It’s important to file your claim as soon as possible to avoid losing your right to compensation. Bicycle Accident Claims can help you understand the time limits and ensure that your claim is filed on time. Reach out to our expert bicycle accident lawyers for more information.

Even if you are partially at fault, you may still be eligible for compensation, depending on the circumstances.
2. How much does it cost to make a cycling accident claim?
The cost of making a cycling accident claim can vary, but with our no win, no fee arrangement, you won’t have to pay anything upfront.

This ensures that you can pursue your claim without worrying about legal fees.
3. How much cycling accident compensation could I get?
The amount of compensation you could receive depends on the severity of your injuries, the circumstances surrounding the accident, and how your life has been impacted. Compensation can cover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage. In cases of long-term or serious injuries, compensation can be higher to account for ongoing care, rehabilitation, or loss of future earnings.
4. How long will I have to wait for compensation for my cycling accident claim?
