Injured in a serious cycling collision?

At Iconic Cycling Events, we want every rider to enjoy cycling safely — whether you are taking part in one of our organised rides, training for an event, commuting, or simply getting out on the bike. Sadly, cycling collisions can result in serious and life-changing injuries. In these situations, the impact is often felt not only by the person injured, but also by their family, loved ones and those supporting them through recovery.

That is why Iconic Cycling Events has partnered with Osbornes Law, a specialist cycling injury team with extensive experience supporting seriously injured cyclists and their families after road collisions. Osbornes is the legal partner to the London Cycling Campaign (LCC). The firm have been providing advice and supporting LCC members since 2014.

• dangerous overtaking

• poor road surfaces and potholes

• cycle lane and road layout issues

• defective rental bikes or faulty hire equipment

The team understands the devastating impact a serious cycling collision can have — not only on physical recovery, but also on family life, work, finances, independence, confidence, and the ability to return to cycling.

Support for injured cyclists and their families

After a serious cycling collision, getting the right legal advice early can make a real difference.A claim is not only about a financial award. It can also help secure access to the treatment, rehabilitation and practical support needed to rebuild life after injury. In the most serious cases, the team works closely with medical experts, case managers, rehabilitation providers and families to make sure the injured person has the support they need as early as possible.

What should you do after a serious cycling collision?

Your health and safety should always come first. Seek urgent medical help where needed and report the collision to the police.Where possible, it can also help to:

• take photographs of the scene, your bike, vehicles, and any visible injuries

• get the driver’s name, registration number, and insurance details

• take contact details for any witnesses

• check whether there is CCTV, dash-cam or helmet camera footage

• keep receipts for any expenses

• make a note of what happened as soon as you can get legal advice before dealing directly with insurers

If the injured cyclist is still in hospital or unable to make enquiries themselves, a family member can contact Osbornes Law on their behalf.
