How Much Compensation Can You Receive in Cycling Accident Claims?

In the year 2020, 141 cyclists were killed in the United Kingdom, with 4,215 badly wounded and 11,938 mildly hurt. One of the most at-risk road users are cyclists. They’re not covered or enclosed in a car body; as a result, cyclists are more likely to have an accident.

You might be considering filing a claim for compensation if you were injured in a cycling accident due to another road user’s fault. But keep in mind that the amount of compensation you get will be determined by the severity of your injury and its effects. You should seek legal advice from a qualified solicitor in personal injury claims.

Compensation Amounts For Being Injured In A Cycling Accident

The compensation amount you are eligible for is determined by a variety of factors. It is impossible to estimate a claim value without first understanding the details of an accident. This is up to your lawyer to negotiate the compensation amount on your behalf.

Personal injury claims are based on two types of damages:

Special Damage – These are the financial losses incurred as a result of an injury. If you have to bear the cost of traveling, loss of wages, cost of house assistance and care, and any counseling or rehabilitative costs due to an accident, you’re entitled to claim for special damage.

General Damage – Any psychological or physical trauma, pain, or disability that occurs due to an accident, can claim for general damage.

The Judicial Council determines the compensation levels for all types of personal injuries. Some of the most common injuries, ranging from minor to serious injuries, are highlighted below.

• If your cycle accident results in soft tissue injuries or cracked ribs, you may be eligible for compensation of up to £2,600.
• Compensation for head injuries ranges from £1,675to £307,000. In comparison, post-traumatic stress compensation ranges from £3,000 to £76,500.
• Compensation for leg injuries ranges from £1,850 to £214,300. Hip or pelvis injury compensation ranges from £3,000 to £99,500.
• Arm injuries experienced in a cycling accident frequently result in compensation ranging from £5,000 to £228,050.
• In case of paralysis, a compensation claim can range from £37,500 to £307,000.
