Injured in a Cycling Accident That Wasn’t Your Fault?
Cyclists face a higher risk of serious injuries on UK roads compared to car drivers. If you’ve been hurt in an accident caused by someone else, you could be eligible for no win no fee compensation.
At Emaari Legal, we specialise in non-fault cycling accident claims. Our Solicitors have over 20 years of experience, and have helped cyclists recover compensation for injuries ranging from minor cuts to severe head trauma.
Cycling accidents often occur due to drivers not noticing cyclists or failing to respect their right of way. Common scenarios include:
- Vehicles turning into cyclists’ paths
- Pulling out at junctions
- Car door incidents (“dooring”)
- General driver negligence
We will guide you through the legal process to ensure you get the compensation you deserve, considering medical costs, lost earnings, and other related expenses.
What is a No Win No Fee Bike Accident Claim?
A no win no fee agreement means you don’t pay legal fees if your claim fails. You can pursue compensation without financial risk. If your case succeeds, your solicitor takes a small, pre-agreed fee from your payout.
Emaari Legal has extensive experience handling cycling accident claims, including:
- Cuts and bruises
- Whiplash
- Fractures
- Head and spinal injuries
Our priority is protecting your interests and ensuring you are fully compensated, without influence from insurance companies.

Common Causes of Cycling Accidents in the UK
Cycling accidents are increasingly common, with thousands of incidents reported annually:
- Road Traffic Collisions: Cars turning into or changing lanes can hit cyclists who are not easily seen.
- Potholes & Road Defects: Poorly maintained roads can cause falls. Local authorities may be liable.
- Car Door Collisions (“Dooring”): Drivers or passengers opening doors into a cyclist’s path can cause serious injuries.
Injuries Sustained in Cycling Accidents
Cycling accidents can lead to a variety of injuries:
- Head & Brain Injuries: Often severe, requiring long-term care
- Spinal Cord Injuries: Can result in paralysis or permanent disability
- Fractures & Soft Tissue Damage: Broken limbs, ligament damage, and tendon injuries
Protective gear like helmets helps, but serious accidents can still cause lasting harm. Medical attention and legal advice are essential for proper recovery and compensation.
Proving Liability in a Bike Accident Claim
To secure compensation, you must prove the accident was caused by someone else. Evidence can include:
- Witness statements
- Photos and videos of the scene and damages
- Go-Pro videos from you
- Police reports
- Insurance details from involved parties
- Medical records
Working with experienced solicitors like those Emaari Legal ensures you gather strong evidence and negotiate effectively with insurers.
