With thousands of Britons becoming increasingly concerned about the impact of their lifestyle on the environment, many people are now dusting off their bicycle to make their morning journey to work or to pop to the shops for some groceries.

Whilst cycling is a more eco-friendly means of transport, it could mean that you are putting yourself at greater risk of an accident on Britain’s roads. The UK boasts around three million regular cyclists, but alarmingly around 16,000 bicycle users are killed or injured during their journeys.

Of the accidents that occur to people on bicycles, it is estimated that as many as sixty per cent of these incidents remain unreported. This is mainly due to the fact that cyclists feel guilty for the collision and believe it is their fault.

If you have suffered a cycling incident involving a motor vehicle that resulted in you sustaining wounds, you could be entitled to make a Personal Injury claim against the other party involved.

Similarly, you can also claim compensation for a Personal Injury resulting from a poorly maintained road leading to you falling off your bicycle.

If you suffer an accident whilst cycling in a public place, it is important that you note down not only the details of any other parties involved, but that you also collect information from any witnesses to the incident.
