  1. How Long Does the Bicycle Accident Compensation Claim Process Take? The answer to this question depends on several factors. However, the most important factor is getting prompt medical treatment. The severity of your injuries and how long they will impact you play a big role in the value of your pain and suffering damages. Your lawyer can help you determine a reasonable estimate. United Solicitors offers bicycle accident compensation claims solicitors in Manchester. Medical Treatment A bicycle accident is traumatic, even when you suffer minor injuries. You should always seek medical treatment at a hospital or urgent care center to have your injuries checked out and treated immediately. Waiting can lead to complications and make your injuries worse. Your doctor may recommend that you follow up with a specialist, such as an orthopedist, neurologist or physical therapist for ongoing medical treatment and rehabilitation. As you undergo rehabilitation, your lawyer will gather evidence such as medical records, receipts for out-of-pocket expenses, and mileage logs to document the full scope of your injury costs for a settlement demand package. Once your recovery is complete, you will be ready to discuss a settlement with the insurance company. However, before you talk to the insurance adjuster, be sure that your doctor has ruled out all of your injuries. The insurance company will likely try to

  2. lowball your damages with early offers based on your medical bills and out-of-pocket costs, but these offers are rarely sufficient to cover your real losses. A skilled Machester attorney at United Solicitors can hire an expert to help you calculate the value of your claim. This can include a medical expert who can connect your injuries to the bike accident, as well as an accident reconstructionist and a financial expert who can quantify your economic losses. Filing a Claim Once you have finished your medical treatment and have all the information and evidence, you can file a claim for compensation. It is critical to do this as soon as possible so that your injury claim remains valid. Your attorney can help you gather the necessary information to submit a strong claim. You will need to document your injuries and losses, including the costs of your out-of-pocket expenses, lost wages, and reduced earning capacity.

Negotiating a Settlement If your injury is minor, you can often negotiate a quick settlement with the driver or their insurance company.
