How can we help?
Head injuries caused by cycling accidents can have life-altering consequences, ranging from mild concussions to severe traumatic brain injuries. If you’ve suffered a head injury due to a cycling accident that wasn’t your fault, you may be entitled to compensation. At Stephensons, we understand the physical, emotional, and financial burden a head injury can create, and we are here to support you throughout your claim.
Our specialist personal injury solicitors have extensive experience in helping individuals secure the compensation they deserve following a cycling accident. We aim to make the claims process as straightforward and stress-free as possible while ensuring that your claim accurately reflects the impact the injury has had on your life.
A head injury from a cycling accident refers to any trauma sustained to the head during a cycling-related incident. These injuries can vary significantly in severity, from minor cuts and bruises to skull fractures and brain injuries. Cyclists are particularly vulnerable road users, often exposed to greater risk due to a lack of physical protection compared to other road users.
Common causes of head injuries in cycling accidents include collisions with vehicles, potholes or poorly maintained roads, defective cycling equipment, or being knocked off a bike by pedestrians or opening car doors. The consequences of a head injury can be long-term, impacting a person’s cognitive abilities, emotional wellbeing, and ability to work or carry out everyday tasks.
Yes, if you have sustained a head injury in a cycling accident caused by someone else's negligence, you may be eligible to make a claim for compensation. This could include accidents involving motorists, local authorities responsible for road maintenance, or even defective cycling gear manufacturers.
Compensation can help cover a range of costs, including medical treatment, rehabilitation, loss of earnings, and ongoing care needs. It can also provide financial relief for the pain and suffering caused by the injury and any impact it has had on your quality of life.
It is important to act quickly as there are time limits for making a personal injury claim. Generally, you have three years from the date of the accident to begin legal proceedings. However, there are exceptions to this rule, for example if the injured person is under 18 or lacks mental capacity. There are other exceptions too so you should always seek advice as early as possible.

To support your claim, it is helpful to gather evidence such as photographs of the accident scene, witness contact details, medical records, police reports (if applicable), and receipts for any expenses incurred due to the injury.
The amount of compensation will depend on the severity of your injury, the impact it has had on your life, and any financial losses you’ve suffered. Our solicitors will assess your individual circumstances to give you a realistic estimate of what you may be entitled to claim.
You may still be able to claim compensation even if you were partly to blame, or if you were not wearing protective gear such as a helmet. This is known as contributory negligence and your compensation may be reduced accordingly.
The length of the claims process varies depending on the complexity of the case and the willingness of the other party to accept liability. Some cases can be resolved in a matter of months, while others involving more serious injuries may take longer due to the need for detailed medical assessments.
Yes, if the injured person is a child or lacks the mental capacity to make a claim themselves, a parent, guardian, or other designated adult can act as a ‘litigation friend’ to make a claim on their behalf.
Most personal injury claims are settled without needing to go to court. However, if liability is disputed or a settlement cannot be agreed upon, your case may proceed to court. Our team will be with you throughout the process to ensure you’re fully supported.
