Common Scenarios in Cyclist vs. Cyclist Collisions
Shared Pathway
Mix-Ups
Unexpected turns, sudden stops or unclear signals on shared paths often result in near-misses or collisions.
Overlapping
Crossings
Crowded bike paths and shared spaces often result in confusion when one cyclist speeds through while another slows down or signals a turn.
Sidewalk
Confusion
Unfamiliarity with the terrain or unclear boundaries on sidewalks can lead to mistakes, especially for less experienced cyclists.
More Reasons to Reach Out
Even if your crash didn’t involve another cyclist, we can still help.
Vehicle Collisions
Collisions with vehicles can lead to severe injuries. Remember, you have the same rights to compensation as any other road user.
Pedestrian Collisions
Shared pathways, crossings and sidewalks can lead to cyclist-pedestrian collisions. If you’ve been injured in one of these incidents, we can help you understand your options.
Public Obstacle Collisions
Hazards like unmarked bollards or potholes can cause serious crashes. If public spaces aren't maintained properly, you may be eligible for a public liability claim.
Property Damage Claims
A wrecked bike can be expensive to fix or replace. We'll help you file a property damage claim and navigate the legal process to get you reimbursed.
Other Accidents
Cycling accidents can take other forms, including:
