Bicycle accident claims & compensation in Teesside | Middlesbrough & Redcar
Bicycles are gaining popularity across Teesside and the wider North East as investment in cycling infrastructure increases.
Towns like Middlesbrough now feature more dedicated bicycle lanes, and we’re seeing the development of cycling paths connecting local communities, similar to the Transporter Bridge – Kirkleatham Almshouses loop.
Cyclists are one of the most vulnerable road using groups in Teesside
Although this is a positive development, cyclists remain one of the most vulnerable groups on Teesside’s roads, and more cycling activity inevitably leads to more accidents.
If you’ve been injured in a bicycle accident, our team of expert personal injury solicitors can help secure the compensation you deserve.

The option of legal expenses insurance to cover a bicycle accident claim in Teesside
We would also advise that you check whether you (or your spouse or member of your family living at the same address) have Legal Expenses Insurance included with a cycling or household insurance policy. You may also have insurance coverage through membership of a cycling club.
If you/they have such a policy, then we can use this insurance cover to deal with your claim at no financial cost to you.
Remember, as the policy-holder you have the right to choose your own solicitor, not your insurance provider. We are happy to speak directly to your insurance company to sort this out for you.
We can also advise on other funding options that you may have available to you.
