Common Bike Accidents

In a number of common bike accidents, the fault will lie with another party. In these accidents, the cyclist may suffer from cuts, broken bones, lacerations and multiple bruises. Some of the most common bike accidents take place under the following circumstances:
The cyclist is hit in the rear by a motor vehicle.
A motor vehicle overtakes the cyclist causing the accident.
A pedestrian suddenly jumps into the road causing an accident.
A pothole causes the cyclist to be thrown off their bike.
A motor vehicle loses control of his or her vehicle and collides with the cyclist.

In some accident cases the cyclist may partly share blame for the accident. Where the cyclist is partly to blame, they can bring a compensation claim but the award will be reduced to reflect their blameworthiness. The value of the claim will depend upon the injuries the victim has suffered and the losses incurred.
