Advice for cyclists
There are some common pitfalls that have arisen in cycling accidentælitigation, but cyclists can protect themselves against them. As cyclists are considered vulnerable road users in terms of the Highway Code, they are offered some additional protections when compared with other road users, but have responsibilities too.
Common pitfalls include:
- Failing to use or wear protective equipment
- Failing to gather sufficient evidence
- Failing to notify local authorities of any road defects encountered
- Failing to have in place an insurance policy
Although these pitfalls can all have potential to result in a less than full compensation recovery, it is rarely the case that all is lost in terms of a claim for compensation. Often negotiation and legal argument will play an important part in determining the level of compensation achieved. It is therefore important to seek legal advice from a specialist firm of solicitors to advise and negotiate on your behalf.
