Cyclists, road traffic accidents and personal injury
Unfortunately, many cyclists sustain quite severe personal injuries in road traffic accidents simply because they do not have the protection of people in cars. These accidents can occur even if you are a very experienced cyclist and it is therefore important to be constantly aware of the traffic around you.
You should also ensure that you wear a cycle helmet and have working front and rear lights on your bike. It is also sensible to wear reflective and bright clothing. Remember the Highway Code and if possible stick to roads with cycle lanes where you are at less risk of harm.
If you are involved in a road traffic accident, obtain as many details as you can about the person who caused the accident before obtaining expert personal injury advice.
