How Much Can Be Claimed for a Cycling Accident?

The amount of compensation that you may be entitled to will depend on many different factors.

The primary factor is the severity of the injuries that you received as the more serious the injury, the higher the level of compensation is likely to be. For example, a severe injury that causes a disability and has a significant impact on the sufferer’s ability to work and engage in a normal life as they did before the accident, will likely attract a higher compensation figure than an injury that had a minor impact.

Other factors that can be taken into consideration include the loss of earnings that resulted from the accident and the level of pain and suffering that the injured person experienced.

It is often helpful for the individual who was injured to gather as much evidence in support of their claim as they can. This includes safely storing any video footage of the accident that was captured by a helmet camera, taking photos of the injuries received and securing the full contact details of any witnesses to the accident.
