Cycling Claims

Injured in a cycling accident in Victoria?

If you are injured in a cycling accident in Victoria, you may be entitled to a range of benefits and compensation. The circumstances of your cycling accident will determine the legal options available to you.

Why do you need to see a lawyer?

If you are injured while cycling, it is important that you seek independent legal advice at the earliest opportunity. Insurance bodies such as the TAC and Workcover often conduct their own investigations shortly after an accident to protect their legal interests. It is imperative that your legal rights are also protected. 

Your lawyer will advise you of:

• any insurance scheme applicable to you
• the range of benefits and lump sum compensation available
• the legal process and estimated time table for obtaining compensation
• the time limits applicable to your claim
• the process of conducting investigations to ensure evidence is collected when it is fresh and available
• our No Win – No Fee ™ arrangement and estimate of the fees you will be required to pay at the conclusion of your claim
• the likelihood of success in your claim

Compensation claims and insurance schemes are extremely complex and it is critical that you obtain advice from a lawyer with extensive experience to ensure that you are aware of the full range of entitlements available to you.
