Client Service and our Commitment               

Our services

The impact of an injury can disrupt your normal active life and can even change it forever.  Everybody’s priorities and needs are different.  We help you to achieve your goals: from the speedy replacement of your bike to providing advice on employer obligations when returning to work with a disability.  We know that taking legal action can seem like a leap into the unknown.  Our role is to be your experienced guide, giving you the benefit of years of experience and getting you to the best possible outcome as swiftly and professionally as possible.

What we do

If you have suffered an injury while cycling, our aim is to get you the rehabilitation and compensation  you need to get back in the saddle as soon as you can. 

Rehabilitation

We recognise that for a lot of our clients rehabilitation is the most important issue and getting back to an active lifestyle with minimal delay is the priority. Our lawyers will help ensure that you obtain funding to start your recovery as soon as possible.

Employment issues

We will investigate any employment related issues, including whether you are entitled to paid leave and we can also offer advice on your entitlement to benefits.

Financial compensation

If your injury is caused by someone else then you should be entitled to compensation. Compensation will normally fall into three categories:

• Compensation for your injuries and any loss of amenity/enjoyment.
• Compensation for expenses incurred such as for treatment, loss of earnings and damaged property.
• Compensation for losses/ expenses that might occur in the future.
