What happens when you contact us?
Share some initial details about the accident and how you have been affected.
We assess your enquiry and identify the most appropriate next steps.
Where appropriate, we can connect you with a solicitor from our trusted legal panel.
We can also look at the wider support that may be relevant to your circumstances.
Cyclists have little physical protection when involved in a collision, meaning an accident can result in significant injuries and disruption to everyday life.
Alongside the immediate effects, you may face time away from work, loss of earnings, ongoing treatment or rehabilitation, and changes to your mobility or usual activities.
At Injury Support Services, we provide expert advice and support following cycling accidents. This includes helping you understand whether you may have grounds for a compensation claim and what other support may be available to you.

Where appropriate, we can connect you with a specialist solicitor from our trusted legal panel with experience relevant to your circumstances.
Clear advice about your options
We consider how the collision occurred, who may have been responsible, the injuries you sustained and the effect they have had on your work, finances and everyday life.
This initial assessment can help establish whether there may be grounds for a claim and explain the options available to you.
Support beyond the claim
Could you make a cycling accident claim?
You may be able to make a claim if you were injured in a cycling accident caused wholly or partly by another road user or, in some circumstances, by an unsafe road or highway defect.
Cycling accidents can occur in many different ways, including:
- vehicles turning across a cyclist’s path
- collisions at junctions or roundabouts
- vehicles pulling out from side roads
- unsafe or close overtaking
- drivers or passengers opening doors into a cyclist’s path
- collisions involving cars, vans, buses or HGVs
- accidents involving uninsured or untraced drivers
- poorly maintained roads, potholes or other highway defects
Responsibility is not always immediately clear. Even where there is disagreement about how an accident happened, it can still be worth obtaining specialist advice before deciding whether to pursue a claim.
What could compensation cover?
Every claim is different, but compensation may take account of:
- your injuries, pain and suffering
- loss of earnings, including future earnings where relevant
- medical treatment and rehabilitation
- care and assistance
- travel and other expenses
- damaged cycling equipment and personal belongings
- adaptations or specialist equipment required because of your injury
- the longer-term effect on your work and everyday life
A specialist solicitor can assess the full impact of the accident and explain what may be included within your claim.
What if the driver was uninsured or left the scene?
Being involved in a hit-and-run accident, or discovering that the driver responsible was uninsured, does not necessarily mean that compensation is unavailable.
There are established routes through which people injured by uninsured or untraced drivers may be able to seek compensation.
Our team can review what happened and help identify the appropriate next step.
