Cycling accidents can be life-changing, leaving you with painful injuries, financial burdens, and uncertainty about what to do next. If your accident was caused by a careless driver, dangerous road conditions, or faulty equipment, you have the right to seek compensation. At Horizons Law, we specialize in helping cyclists across the UK claim what they’re entitled to—without any upfront costs. Our No Win, No Fee policy ensures that you don’t have to worry about legal expenses while we handle your case.
Understanding Cycling Accident Claims
Many cyclists suffer injuries due to reckless drivers, poorly maintained roads, or defective bike parts, yet they often don’t realize they can claim compensation. If you were involved in a hit-and-run, struck by an opening car door, lost control due to potholes, or were affected by a faulty bicycle component, you may have a strong case. Even collisions involving pedestrians or other cyclists could qualify. Every situation is unique, which is why speaking to a legal expert is essential in determining whether you have a valid claim.
Compensation You May Be Entitled To
A successful cycling accident claim can cover much more than just medical expenses. If you’ve had to take time off work due to your injuries, lost wages can be included in your claim. You may also be compensated for the cost of repairing or replacing your bike, rehabilitation treatments, and the physical and emotional distress caused by the accident. Compensation isn’t just about financial reimbursement—it’s about holding the responsible party accountable and making sure you have the support you need to move forward.
How the Claim Process Works
Getting started with a claim can feel overwhelming, but at Horizons Law, we make the process straightforward and stress-free. It begins with a free consultation, where we assess your case and provide expert guidance. From there, we gather all necessary evidence, including accident reports, medical records, and witness statements. Once everything is in place, we submit the claim on your behalf and negotiate for the best possible outcome. In most cases, settlements are reached without going to court, but if needed, we’ll fight for you every step of the way.

Client Success Stories
At Horizons Law, we’ve helped countless cyclists secure fair compensation after devastating accidents. One of our recent clients, Alex from Manchester, suffered a severe injury when a reckless driver hit him. Unsure of his rights, he turned to us for help. We successfully secured a £12,000 settlement, covering his lost earnings and medical expenses. Lisa from Birmingham had a similar experience—after her accident, she didn’t know where to begin. We handled everything for her, allowing her to focus on recovery while we fought for the compensation she deserved.
Know Your Rights as a Cyclist
Many cyclists are unaware of their legal rights after an accident. Under UK law, if someone else’s negligence caused your injuries, you have the right to claim compensation. You also have up to three years to file a claim, so even if your accident wasn’t recent, you may still be eligible. If you were injured by an uninsured or untraceable driver, you can still seek compensation through the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB).
Navigating the legal system can be complex, but we’re here to help you understand your rights and options. Speak to our legal experts for free advice today.

Yes, you can still make a claim. While not wearing a helmet may be considered when determining liability, it does not automatically prevent you from receiving compensation. Your claim will be assessed based on the overall circumstances of the accident.
You may still be entitled to compensation even if you were partially at fault. The settlement amount may be adjusted based on your level of responsibility, but you can still recover damages for injuries and losses.
Most cases are resolved within three to nine months, depending on the complexity of the case and the willingness of the other party to settle. More complex cases may take longer, especially if they go to court.
You can claim compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, bike repair or replacement, pain and suffering, and other financial losses resulting from the accident. Each case is different, so our team will assess your claim to determine the compensation you’re entitled to.
While it’s possible to handle a claim on your own, having an experienced legal team can increase your chances of success and ensure you receive the full compensation you deserve. We handle the legal process for you, so you can focus on recovery.
