Success Stories
“I want to express my sincere thanks and deep gratitude to you for all of your kindness, help and support for me throughout what has been the most difficult and challenging of times. I was so impressed by your knowledge and ability, but also your empathy and understanding, for which I will be forever grateful.
I thought you should know that I was able to use the money to pay off the mortgage on our family home and to help with my daughter’s university fees as she will be taking up a post graduate course in 2026-27. Just to highlight what a vital service you were able to provide for me and others.”
Compensation Awardable for Serious Injuries Sustained in a Cycling Accident Increased
Compensation for serious cycling injuries is worked out by looking at previous court cases and guidance used by solicitors and courts, known as the Judicial College Guidelines (JCG). These guidelines provide typical compensation ranges depending on how serious an injury is and the impact it has on your life.
In cycling accident claims, injuries are generally grouped by severity – for example, as severe, moderately severe, or moderate – with more serious and long-lasting injuries attracting higher compensation.
The latest (18th) edition of the JCG has increased compensation levels, including higher payouts for serious and life-changing injuries, as well as greater recognition of the impact of psychological trauma and permanent disabilities.
The exact amount you may receive will always depend on your individual circumstances, but serious cycling accident claims can lead to substantial compensation, particularly where the injuries have long-term effects on your health, work, and day-to-day life.
