Type of claim

Cyclists are more vulnerable road users, and therefore more prone to serious injuries due to the lack of external protection they possess on the road compared to other motor vehicles. If you have been involved in a road traffic accident as cycling and therefore experienced serious injuries, we highly advise that you contact one of our experienced solicitors at Solicitors On Your Side Scotland.

What serious injuries are cyclists likely to get after being involved in a road traffic accident?

Cyclists can experience all types of injuries after being involved in a road traffic accident. Cyclists can experience less severe injuries, such as whiplash, bruises, and lacerations, which are quite common. However, due to the lack of external protection, and the amount of impact that the cyclist is bound to experience, they are more likely to face more severe injuries after a road traffic accident, the most common serious injuries after a cyclist road traffic accident include:

  • Amputations – Any accident can cause amputations; however, dangerous road traffic accidents can cause injuries resulting in amputations. Some accidents can be severe enough for amputations to happen on the spot, and some accidents can lead to injuries requiring amputations.
  • Brain and head injuries can be truly catastrophic to the individuals and their families that may have to experience them. After brain injuries, life alterations may be necessary, as your life may never be the same again.
  • There is a range of complications from spinal injuries after an accident, such as loss of movement and feeling in specific body parts, or more seriously paralysis. The spine is connected to the brain, meaning that spinal injuries can have terrible complications, leading to life-changing adjustments
  • Broken bones can be very serious consequences from road traffic accidents. They can be extremely restricting your daily routine, stopping your performing your tasks for weeks and months, more severe injuries can even have eternal implications.
  • Back injuries from road traffic accidents can vary, they can be mild or more severe and can have a detrimental impact on your daily life, either way, you may be entitled to claim compensation.
