Cycling is rapidly increasing in popularity in the UK. Its a relatively fast, environmentally friendly way to travel around, and it saves money on fuel at a time when petrol prices continue to rise.

Unfortunately, as more cyclists saddle up and use busy roads, bike related accidents are increasing, many of which are not the fault of the cyclist.

In 2010 it was estimated that around 17,200 people were involved in a cycling accident, with 111 of those killed and over 2000 seriously injured.

What to do if you’ve have a cycling accident

Having a cycling accident can be a traumatic experience, particularly if you are badly injured. The best thing you can do is collect as much information together about the accident as you can. Specific details are important so note down information such as where and when the accident happened.

If you have the details of anyone else involved in the accident collect them together too. Make sure you also collect any medical notes that you may have received if you were injured, and bills you may have received for repairs to your bike.

Once you are happy that you have as much information about your cycling accident as you can find, contact a cycling accident solicitor such as Claimant Law.
