More advice about compensation
If
you want to make a claim for compensation (see article in the
last Newsletter)
after being injured while cycling, make sure your solicitor is a specialist in
personal injury law, a member of
- The Association of Personal Injury Lawyers, or
- The Law Society's Personal Injury Panel (whose members have at least three
years' specialist experience)
You can make a claim up to three years after
an accident. Claims can be made even when the driver is uninsured or
untraceable, as in the case of stolen cars or hit and run, for example. A claim
can also be made if your injury was due to a bad road surface, or if you were
attacked.
There are many other things to take into consideration, so if in doubt seek
professional advice.
