MAKING A CYCLE ACCIDENT CLAIM — STEP BY STEP
Making a cycle accident claim can seem complicated, but with My Cycle Claim at your side, the process is clear, straightforward, and as stress-free as possible. Here is what happens from the moment you contact us:
Step 1: Free Initial Consultation
Your claim begins with a free, no-obligation consultation. Our specialists will listen to the details of your accident, assess the circumstances, and give you an honest assessment of whether you have a valid claim. We will also explain what types of compensation you may be entitled to and answer any questions you have.
Step 2: Evidence Gathering
We help you gather and organise all the evidence needed to support your claim. This includes photographs of the scene and your injuries, witness statements, police reports, medical records, and any other relevant documentation. The stronger the evidence, the better your outcome.
Step 3: Claim Assessment and Valuation
Once we have a full picture of your accident and its impact, we calculate the full value of your claim. This includes both your immediate financial losses (special damages) and an assessment of your pain, suffering, and any lasting impact on your quality of life (general damages).
Step 4: Notifying the Third Party
We formally notify the responsible party (or their insurer) of your intention to claim. From this point, all communication is handled through us — you do not need to deal with insurers or solicitors directly.
Step 5: Negotiation and Settlement
Our experienced claims team negotiates robustly on your behalf to secure the maximum possible settlement. In the vast majority of cases, claims are resolved without going to court. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are fully prepared to pursue your case further.
Step 6: Compensation Paid
Once your claim is settled, your compensation is paid. We also ensure that your bike repair or replacement is arranged as early in the process as possible — so you are not waiting until the very end to get back on the road.
