Cycling Accident Claims in Leicester
With cycling currently at a level of unprecedented popularity in the UK, it’s no surprise that we have seen a rise in cycling accidents in Leicester. Cycling accident compensation is paid out frequently because of this, and we can help those seeking to make a claim.
The chances of being severely injured are higher for cyclists than other road users when involved in collisions, or hitting potholes in the road. The reason is due to the significantly less protection available than that enjoyed by other road users — making cyclists very vulnerable.
If you have been injured whilst cycling in Leicester — unlikely to be your fault — then you could be able to claim for cycling accident compensation using our friendly no win no fee * personal injury solicitors.

Making A Cycling Accident Claim in Leicester
In order to stand the best chance of success when making a cycling accident claim, there are some things you need to be aware of. Here is our short guide to what to do if involved in an accident:
- If your injuries require medical treatment make sure an ambulance is called.
- Keep any subsequent medical records.
- If possible, ask any witnesses if they would be prepared to make a statement.
- Write down number plates of any cars involved in the accident.
