How can my cycling accident solicitor help me with making a claim?
To successfully recover compensation for an injury, you must prove that the cycling accident was caused by the mistake or 'fault' of someone else. However, even if you are partly to blame, you may still be able to bring a cycling accident claim.

Time limits for cycling accident claims
The law states that court proceedings for cycling accident claims have to be issued within a certain time known as the limitation period. The time limits are strict and set out in the Limitation Act 1980. If you, or your cycling accident solicitor, does not comply with the limitation period that applies to your claim, you are likely to lose for ever the chance to make your claim.
Cycling accidents solicitors must ensure that claims are brought within strict time limits, usually 3 years from the accident or for a child by the time he or she is 21, although there are exceptions:-
• If an adult has never had the mental capacity to instruct a solicitor to make a claim, the clock doesn't start ticking until the claimant has regained capacity.
• In some very limited cases the courts may agree to waive the time limit
• There are different time limits for cycling accidents that occur overseas.
If your injury happened more than 3 years ago our cycling accident solicitors may still be able to find a way to make a claim.
