Case studies

We were approached by the father of a man who had been involved in a significant road accident when a van drove into the rear of his bicycle.

We were able to secure more than £40,000 in damages for two girls injured after a driver lost control of her vehicle on a country lane and collided with them as they cycled with their father.

Our client, a male cyclist, was injured when a driver pulled out from a junction to his left and collided with him as he was cycling along a main road to work. The conditions were dry and bright and the cyclist had right of way.

We secured damages for a cyclist badly injured, suffering multiple fractures, as a result of another cyclist’s negligence.

We recovered compensation for our client, a keen cyclist who was training for a competitive triathlon when hit by a car, sustaining serious injuries.

We have acted for a client who was involved in an incident where he was ‘doored’ by a car driver as he cycled past. His bike was extensively damaged and was taken to a cycle shop where he asked for it to be made roadworthy and safe to use. Two weeks afterwards, he had a second cycling accident when the carbon forks collapsed causing him to hit his head and fracture his cheekbone.

We are currently acting for a 40 year old woman knocked off her bicycle at speed. She sustained multiple bleeds to the brain and remained off work for some six months after the accident. Liability has been admitted although arguments are being raised over contributory negligence on account of our client’s failure to wear a cycle helmet.

We concluded a claim on behalf of a cyclist who was injured while travelling to work. He was wearing a cycle helmet and appropriate cycle clothing but was hit by the large wing mirror of a transit vehicle which had been travelling behind him at a significant speed.

Our personal injury team represented the wife of a man who was killed in a cycling accident in the Peak District when a motorbike lost control on a corner and hit him head on.

Our client was cycling on a busy road when he was suddenly knocked off his bicycle by a wooden bed base which had not been properly secured to the defendant’s vehicle.

We have settled a claim for a cyclist who was badly injured when he was hit by a car while riding around Clapham Common in London. The motorist hit our client from behind before driving over him and away from the scene.

We have settled a claim for a male cyclist who was seriously injured after a collision in May 2022. The collision arose from a failure by the defendant’s insured driver to stop her vehicle at a junction.
