Cycling hit and run cases are very serious, and people who commit hit and run cases to any motorist at all can find themselves facing severe consequences. If you have been hit as a cyclist by another road user, you are more likely to face more severe damages due to the lack of external protection. If you have been involved in a hit and run accident as a cyclist, we highly advise that you contact one of our experienced solicitors at Solicitors On Your Side Scotland now.
If you have been hit as a cyclist during a hit and run accident, it is important to ensure that you are safe and call any necessary emergency services straight away. It is then essential that you take pictures and videos of the scene of the accident, these will be extremely helpful when making a claim. If possible, gather any witness reports to help prove that you were not to blame for the accident. If you cannot access the details or information on the other driver, make sure to report the accident to the police and get a reference number so that you can make a claim.
As a cyclist, if you have been hit and the offender fled the accident scene, there are options to claim without their details. The Motor Insurers Bureau (MIB) allows people who have been hit by an unidentified vehicle to get the compensation they deserve. The “Untraced Drivers Agreement” allows victims of accidents to claim compensation.
If you would like to find out more about claiming with the Motor Insurers Bureau, we advise that you contact one of our experienced solicitors at Solicitors On Your Side Scotland. We can offer free initial consultations to help determine the process of making a claim.
There is a range of reasons why some drivers may flee the scene of an accident. Usually, it is the fear of convictions however, other reasons why drivers flee the scene of the accident include:
