Pedal bike accident claimsPedal cycle compensation - legal advice
Pedal cyclists are among the most vulnerable of road users and account for an enormous number of road casualties.
Most accidents occur as a result of the vehicle driver failing to see the pedal cyclist. The majority of the cases we come across seem to involve car drivers pulling out of side roads or onto roundabouts without seeing the cyclist directly in front of them. The most common injuries are broken wrists and arms caused by the falling mechanism as the cyclist hits the ground. The arms generally are the first part of the body to take the impact.
Cyclists should always wear protective brightly coloured clothing and safety helmets. Bikes must have adequate lighting. It is still not uncommon to find individuals riding pedal bikes without even the most basic of safety gear. Your chances of surviving an accident in these circumstances are reduced significantly.
It is important that cyclists do not place themselves in danger by positioning themselves inappropriately on the road. Always follow the Highway Code guidelines for cyclists.
