Because more and more people are taking up cycling the level of accidents involving cycles has increased too. This means that cycle claims have grown in number too. However, many of those cycle claims are not successful because a lot of the time the actual cyclist involved finds themselves having to fight for compensation without the help of an insurance company. If you run a car you have your own insurance, so if you have an accident it is your insurance company that fights your claim on your behalf. With cycle claims you are on your own unless you happen to be one of the few cyclists with accident insurance.
Lawyers Specialising In Cycle Claims Are Growing Too
Fortunately, there is help available. Lots of lawyers are realising that the cycle claims market is growing, so are specialising in fighting these claims on the behalf of cyclists.
In addition, just as car owners are fighting speeding tickets, parking fines and other traffic violation fines cyclists are also doing the same. If they get nicked for riding on the pavement or jumping a light rather than simply accept these fines many cyclists are fighting them using cycling lawyers.
