Cyclists

We understand that cyclists using today’s busy roads are  now more likely to find themselves injured in road accidents that were not their fault.

We know that the most frequent cause of accidents involving cyclists is that they are simply not seen by other road users, and according to our cyclist clients the most common accident types are:

• Vehicle turning left or right and across the path of a cyclist
• Vehicle pulling out from a side road and into the path of a cyclist
• Vehicle colliding with cyclists on roundabouts.
• Buses overtaking and cutting across cyclists to pull into bus stops

Furthermore cyclists who are involved in accidents are especially vulnerable to injury because they have little to protect them from the colliding vehicle and the road surface.

We offer free legal advice to victims of cycle accidents. Our dedicated team of lawyers will assist you through the process of making a personal injury claim. They will also ensure that you get back any other losses you have suffered such as:

• Cost of repairing your bike or its value if it is beyond repair
• Replacement accessories (lights, mud guards)
• Replacement clothing and helmet
• Injury compensation
• Loss of earnings
• Prescription and medical fees

Furthermore where appropriate our rehabilitation service will ensure that you receive immediate physiotherapy treatment to help you recover quickly from you injuries.

Remember instructing Gorman Hamilton Solicitors to handle your  claim will not cost you a penny. Whether you win or lose our Legalprotect scheme will give you complete peace of mind, knowing that you will not have any legal costs to pay.
