Cycling and sports injury claims
Our cycling and sports accidents claims team represent cyclists and sports people who have been injured in sporting activities, whilst training, enjoying leisure pursuits or whilst commuting to work.
Even relatively minor injuries can have a significant effect, particularly on high achieving sports people, and can ruin months or even years of training. Our lawyers focus on rehabilitation so that our active clients can work towards getting back to their pre-accident quality of life as quickly as possible.
Solicitors in our experienced cycling and sports accident claims team are exclusively retained by both British Cycling and the British Triathlon Federation to provide a first class legal service for their members. The team has represented over 1,000 injured members of these organisations in the past two years.
