Pedestrian and cyclists accidents

Pedestrians and cyclists can suffer injuries from a number of different causes.  Being unprotected they can be very vulnerable and suffer serious injuries when hit by a vehicle.  They can also suffer accidents that don’t affect other road users.

Common causes include

  • Drivers not being aware of pedestrians or cyclists
  • Cyclists on pavements injuring pedestrians
  • Pavements badly maintained (see trip and slips)
  • Potholes in the road

If you have been injured as a pedestrian or a cyclist then talk to our claims specialists about your case and whether you may be entitled to compensation.
