In the UK cycle claims are on the rise. This is the case for all kinds of cycle claims including cycle accident claims, theft claims and personal injury claims.

The main reason for the rise in cycle claims in the UK is the fact that more and more people are using bikes in their everyday lives. Be it for sports, to stay fit, to commute or to pop to the shop instead of getting the car out and wasting petrol. Naturally, the more people ride bikes the more accidents involving bikes will happen hence the rise in cycle claims. The same is true of cycle claims for theft the more bikes there are out there the more individual bikes will be stolen.

The other reason for the rise in cycle claims is that people are becoming more litigious. This means that if they have an accident they expect compensation, whereas in the past they would have paid to get their bike fixed themselves they are more likely to make a private claim instead.

This is good news for the new breed of cycle lawyers, who specialise in cycle claims especially cycle accident claims.
