Common law says that if, due to negligence, somebody causes damage to you or your property then they should pay compensation. And that compensation should restore your situation to how it was before the incident or accident happened. Wiggle Legal will help you get the compensation you're owed in the event of a cycling accident.
It's not just damage or injury you should claim for. If you need to take time off work, you miss out on a holiday or even need to take a taxi for a bit, we can help you to cover any unexpected costs.
Whatever it takes to get you back on your bike. If you suffer loss or injury due to a third party it's their obligation to compensate you to a level that puts you back to where you were before the incident or accident occurred. Accidents often result in the loss of bikes, equipment, earnings due to time off work, the ability to go about our normal lives or worse.
We can help you even if you don’t have all the details of the driver or vehicle involved in a hit and run. Just tell us what you know and we’ll take it from there.
