CYCLE ACCIDENT CLAIM AGAINST AN INSURANCE COMPANY

Cycle accident claim against an insurance company when the insurers deny the cycle accident was the fault of the car driver and the cyclist was to blame.

Here’s an example of some of the stranger cycle accident claims that we receive.

Do you think your lawyers would be able to help me with my cycle accident claim? I had a cycle accident in London in December involving a parked sports car but I don’t believe the accident was entirely my fault.

It was late at night and I was cycling in the red lane in Chelsea in sleeting wind and rain. The wind and sleet was so cold that it was stinging my face, so I had my head down to protect myself. Unknown to myself, there was a Ferrari parked illegally and without lights in the red zone which I didn’t see until I struck it at speed and was propelled over the top of the car and landed on my back in the gutter.

CYCLE ACCIDENT

The cars alarm was set off and the owner came running out to see what had happened. It was obvious that I had had a cycle accident and had struck his car as my bike was bent and still resting against the boot of his car.

Despite the fact that I was obviously injured and in a great deal of pain, the owner of the Ferrari started shouting and swearing at me whilst I lay on the ground with a broken thigh and ruptured spleen.

The car was illegally parked without lights and in dreadful weather conditions. I believe my cycled accident was the fault of the owner of the car. I made a statement to the police after being taken to hospital and the owner of the car was cautioned.

Do you think I may have a claim for compensation for my cycle accident?
