Despite the popularity of news stories reporting on cyclists who have received 100 percent compensation, cycling accidents are not, in fact, as common as many people would expect.
However, on account of cyclists' vulnerability, suggests they inevitably result in a disproportionate number of serious injuries. This in itself, though, should not be enough to deter any budding cyclists; after all, the British Medical Association estimates that the health benefits of cycling outweigh the risk of injury by roughly 20 to 1.
What many cyclists might not be aware of is the risk they place themselves in by not using the correct safety gear. Not only does this make personal injury more likely, it also jeopardises a cyclist's entitlement to 100 percent compensation in the event of an accident.
For nighttime and evening cyclists, lights should be considered a necessity. Not only do they make a rider more visible to other road users, they also help avoid a £30 on-the-spot fine.
Considering that this fine is considerably more expensive than the cost of most bicycle nightlights, having lights on your bike clearly represents both the safer and the more economical choice. Furthermore, if a motorist claims he did not see a cyclist, it may be very difficult for the injured rider to claim a full amount of compensation.
Hi-visibility clothing will not only help prevent an accident, it will also strengthen a cyclist's compensation claim in the event that an accident does occur.
Most hi-visibility clothing is cheap, lightweight and will easily slip over the top of other clothing. Many cyclists even advocate its use in daylight. Any serious or regular cyclist should consider hi-vis clothing an essential purchase.
This might sound like obvious advice. But it can be surprising how easily the Highway Code is forgotten by a cyclist in a rush.
No-one is above the law, and breaking it will very likely disqualify any cyclist involved in an accident from receiving 100 percent damages.
