Medical Negligence & Personal Injury

Cycling and Motorcycle Accident Claims

Our Approach

Motorbike riders and cyclists are vulnerable to dangerous road conditions and can be less visible on the road than other vehicles.

If involved in an accident, the injuries sustained can be very serious as cyclists and motorcyclists have limited protection as compared to car drivers.

If an accident was not the fault of the cyclist or motorbike rider, or only partially their fault, then a claim for compensation may be possible.

Our dedicated team of lawyers are experts in managing catastrophic injury claims including brain injuries, spinal cord injuries and amputations and obtaining the maximum compensation. We offer ‘no win, no fee’ agreements.

More information can be found on our Road Traffic Accidents page.

A strong team ethic shines through at Kingsley Napley and there is ready support from across the whole team, whose assistance is always quick, accurate and reassuring.

Our Expertise

Expert cyclist and motorbike accident lawyers

It is important to instruct a specialist lawyer with the experience to push cases forward, seek early admissions of liability and obtain the best package of compensation. Panel solicitors appointed under legal expenses cover with motor insurance policies are not necessarily specialists in serious injury claims for cyclists or motorcyclists and if you have concerns about the legal advice or service you are receiving then we may be able to take over conduct of your claim.

The team are well versed in dealing with insurers and seeking early interim payments wherever possible.

Compensation for a cyclist or motorbike accident

Compensation amounts will depend on the type of injury sustained but our team have a track record for obtaining maximum compensation in claims for personal injury where serious injuries have been suffered. Compensation can include sums for the care, equipment and treatments needed, new or adapted compensation and for financial losses such as lost earnings and pension. Our lawyers will advise you fully on the potential value of your claim.

We will also provide specialist advice as to how best to structure any award of damages – whether in addition to a lump sum, a periodical payment award (PPO) should be considered to provide an annual amount for life.

We have a long established Court of Protection Team which can assist with advice, including how to protect an award of damages, and any matters requiring Court of Protection input, such as the need for a Deputy, where a claimant cannot manage their own affairs.

Can my attorney just do what they like with my money?

You can only make an LPA while you have mental capacity so it is a good idea to think about it early, even if you are young and healthy. The chances are that you won’t need it for a long time and maybe not at all. However, if something unexpected happens, for example if you are in an accident, then having an LPA in place will be one less thing for your loved ones to worry about.

If you make an LPA now and change your mind about who your attorneys should be, then you can always make a new one later.
