Cycling accident statistics
At Thorneycroft our cycling claim solicitors have seen a sharp rise in the amount of cyclists involved in accidents and collisions in recent years, with the number of pedal cyclists killed or seriously injured in Great Britain increasing by 21% from 2008 to 2018.
Government statistics also show that 17,550 cyclists were injured in a reported cycling accident, including 99 fatalities and 4,106 potentially life-changing serious injuries.
In The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (ROSPA) most recent it was revealed that almost 75% of the cycling accidents that happen in the UK are in urban areas where roads are much busier and therefore more dangerous and that 80% of cycling accidents last year happened in daylight hours.
It is also estimated that 75% of cyclists involved in a cycling accident will suffer major head trauma.

Cycling is quickly increasing in popularity in the UK. It’s a relatively fast, environmentally friendly way to travel around and it saves money on fuel at a time when petrol prices continue to rise.
Throughout the UK, local governments and councils are working hard to make cycling safe and improve cycle infrastructure in their regions. They are encouraging people to cycle to work or for recreational reasons, as a way of keeping fit, reducing pollution and easing congestion.
With an increasing number of two and four-wheeled vehicles on our roads each year, the risks are obvious. Our specialist cycling claims solicitors keep abreast of all the latest developments within the cycling community and can provide specialist knowledge on all cycling safety requirements.
