Cycling Accident Claims Solicitors Manchester

Injured while cycling? MWG Solicitors in Manchester can discuss whether you may have a compensation claim, the evidence needed and the practical impact on your recovery and income.

Call 0161 835 2446 or contact our Personal Injury team to discuss your next steps.

Advice after a cycling injury

If another road user’s actions caused your injury, MWG can discuss whether a compensation claim may be available. Incidents can include vehicles turning across a cyclist, unsafe passing and car doors opened into a rider’s path. The evidence must establish legal responsibility and the harm caused.

Preserve the evidence for your claim

  • Obtain appropriate medical attention and explain how the accident happened.
  • Keep witness, driver, vehicle and insurer details where available.
  • Preserve original camera footage before it is overwritten.
  • Photograph the location, bicycle, clothing and visible damage.
  • Keep receipts, repair assessments and records of time away from work.
Record the precise location and conditions if a road defect was involved. Claims against a highway authority involve different legal questions and need individual advice. Document damaged equipment before repairs or disposal.

What compensation can include

A claim may address the injury and reasonable losses caused by it, such as treatment, travel, lost earnings, care and damaged cycling equipment. Keep records of help provided by relatives as well as paid support. Any amount depends on responsibility, medical evidence and the losses proved. Lasting injuries may require specialist assessment of rehabilitation, future care and employment prospects. See our Serious Injury service and Brain Injury service for these more complex needs.

Disputed fault and drivers who cannot be traced

The parties may disagree about positioning, visibility or how the incident happened. These issues need evidence rather than assumptions about cyclists or drivers. An allegation that you contributed to the damage does not automatically end a claim, but shared responsibility can affect recovery. The Motor Insurers’ Bureau may be able to consider a claim involving an uninsured or untraced driver, subject to its agreements and requirements. Preserve evidence, report the incident when required and seek advice promptly.

Discuss your options with our Manchester team

Contact MWG with the accident date, a short account of what happened and details of your injuries. Tell us about existing cycling, household or membership legal expenses cover. We can explain the proposed investigation and costs before you decide whether to instruct us. No win no fee funding is subject to assessment and written agreement. Ask about deductions, insurance and expenses as well as the circumstances in which costs could remain payable. Our Personal Injury overview explains the wider services available.
