There is a three-year time limit to make a personal injury claim. However, this doesn’t mean you have three years to start the claims process.
Instead, you must either raise a court action or settle a claim within these three years. There are some exceptions to this rule, so we recommend speaking to our personal injury solicitors for specialist advice regarding the best course of action.

In these situations, our specialist cycling lawyers can help you claim through the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB). This organisation is dedicated to compensating victims of accidents involving uninsured or hit-and-run drivers. While the process can be more complex, our experienced team is well-equipped to manage these cases.
The duration depends on the complexity of the case and whether the other party accepts fault. Typically, most claims are resolved within six to 18 months. However, more complex cases involving severe injuries or disputed liability may take longer.
Not necessarily. Most cycling accident claims are resolved without court proceedings. However, if liability is disputed or a compensation agreement can’t be reached, court action may be necessary.
Even when court action begins, most cases settle before trial. Should your claim go to court, our team will support and represent you throughout the process, ensuring you’re well-prepared and your case is presented effectively.
We handle cycling injury claims on a no-win, no-fee basis, which means you won’t have to pay any upfront legal costs for your claim. Additionally, many clients have access to legal expenses insurance, which helps cover the cost of legal fees. As your dedicated cycle accident solicitor, we’re committed to transparency about costs from the outset.
We also offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case and explain the claims process, allowing you to make an informed decision without any financial risk or obligation.
