Woman with a bicycle

There are some common pitfalls that have arisen in cycling accidentælitigation, but cyclists can protect themselves against them.

Common pitfalls include:

Although these pitfalls can all have potential to result in a less than full compensation recovery, it is rarely the case that all is lost in terms of a claim for compensation. Often negotiation and legal argument will play an important part in determining the level of compensation achieved. It is therefore important to seek legal advice from a specialist firm of solicitors to advise and negotiate on your behalf.

  • I would like to thank Stephen Irvine for the professional service in my industrial disease case. He provided patience, empathy and kindness. At every turn he provided good, sensible advice. No stone was left unturned in preparing the case, and all expert witness reports were obtained. Any questions were always answered as Mr Irvine was always available to deal with issues and things I did not understand. The outcome was a settlement that I was happy with, and Mr Irvine did your firm proud.
