How will Corries help me ?

We will  work to establish who is responsible for causing the accident and will start by gathering evidence to support your claim. This will include photographs and witness statements from the scene of the accident.

We will arrange for you to attend an independent medical assessment so that your injuries can be examined, to determine your recovery time and any long-term damage.

We will also take into consideration your current and future loss of earnings, and any out of pocket expenses such as travel costs to and from medical appointments.

We will then present your case to the third party to either accept or reject liability. If liability is accepted negotiations will begin with their insurer who will pay the compensation.

How much will it cost to make a claim through Corries ?

Corries Solicitors  handle cycle accidents on a No Win, No Fee basis, meaning that you do not pay anything if your claim is unsuccessful.

Is there a time limit for making a cycle claim?

In most instances, you will need to make a cycle claim within 3 years from the date of the accident. If a child was injured in a cycling accident a parent can make a claim on their behalf at any time before they turn 18. Once a child reaches the age of 18, they have 3 years from the date of their birthday to make a claim themselves.
