Bicycle Riders on Road Riding Alongside Cars - at Risk of Cycling Accident

A more personal approach to your cycling accident claim.

If you’ve been knocked off your bike, chances are it wasn’t your fault. Most cycling accidents are caused by drivers failing to give way, dooring, rear-ending cyclists or driving recklessly.

We’ve helped many injured cyclists get compensation for their injuries, but we understand your situation is unique, and you’re different from every one of them. Getting you more compensation starts with building a personal relationship with you, to truly understand your situation.

There’s no cost to speak to a bicycle accident lawyer, tell your side of the story, and find out how much compensation you can claim.

We’ll get you more compensation.

Bicycle accident injuries often mean time off work, unplanned expenses and financial stress. But we’re here to help. We get to know you and your family to learn about your life before you were injured. We look beyond your injuries, to understand your work, family, social and financial situation. Then we look at what’s changed. Many of our clients’ injuries have led to other life complications and health issues. By getting to know you personally we identify these issues and claim all your entitlements. That’s why you’ll get more compensation with a Law Partners bicycle accident lawyer on your side.


What bicycle accidents can I claim for?

No matter how you’ve been injured on your bike, you can call Law Partners for free advice on your compensation entitlements.

Drivers failing to give way.

Usually where a driver pulls out from an intersection into the cyclist’s path or hits the cyclist side-on.

Hazard sign icon

A car speeding past you or passing too close, causing you to crash.

Close passes are all too common, and since they often happen at speed they can have serious consequences.

cyclist icon

Being hit from behind.

These accidents can result in serious injuries, especially where the cyclist is hit at speed.

Car icon

Having a car door opened on you as you ride by (“dooring”).

This is a common scenario for cyclists, and injuries can be significant.

How we can help you.

personal relationship icon

Give you free advice before you submit your claim. It’s critical that your bicycle accident injury claim is submitted correctly and that your injuries are properly assessed, otherwise you could miss out on compensation you’re entitled to.

Magnifying glass over medical forms. Failure to warn/inform icon

Help you if you disagree with the assessment of your claim. If the TAC has denied any part of your claim, we can review the decision and provide free legal advice on your options.

Unsure if eligible icon

Help you claim a lump sum settlement. Lump sums compensation amounts can be substantial and our bicycle accident lawyers are highly skilled at winning lump sum claims.


Frequently asked questions.

If you’ve been knocked off your bike in a hit and run accident in Victoria, where the driver failed to stop and can’t be traced, you may still be able to make a claim for bike accident compensation. The TAC scheme still allows you to apply for compensation when the driver can’t be identified, however you’re required to provide as many details as possible.

The Victorian TAC scheme covers injuries only and doesn’t cover property damage. To claim for damage to your bike, unless you have bike insurance or it’s covered by your home contents insurance, you’ll need to claim directly from the at-fault driver. The first step is to get a quote for the repair or replacement of your bike, then send a letter of demand to the at-fault driver.

If the at-fault driver refuses to pay, you can make a claim against them in the local court. Most cases involving damage to bikes will be handled by the small claims division of your local court.

Both he and Emily were always professional, compassionate, and responsive, making sure I felt supported and informed every step of the way.

I was honored to work with Law Partners and to have met Ajla. She helped me with previous employment issues that were very stressful. She was very generous with her time and was always caring and compassionate. And she really strived to get us the end result we desired and had thought was near impossible. She and Law Partners renewed our faith in the Legal System and humanity in general. Thank you Ajla.

I Toni Bailey would highly recommend law partners to any one wishing to make a compensation claim I dealt with Jacob who got the very best outcome for my case. From start to finish he was a pleasure to work with and made it easy for me to make my claim for the maximum amount.

Dealing with law partners has been a pleasure. I asked them if I had a TPD claim and we went through the process and they found an Income Protection claim in the process and as professional as they are they were both approved. Now my standard of living has improved for many years to come and I could not recommend Katelyn and Sia enough. I am one very happy client 5 star performance thank you!
