A bicycle accident can cause a different range of injuries from minor to severe life-changing injuries. When cycling on the road you can be very vulnerable due to the other road users being in larger, powered, faster vehicles, meaning for a cyclist accident can be minor for someone in a car but life-changing for you.

Typically, a severe injury will usually lead to one or more of the following:

• You have had to a long period of time off work
• You require care and support with day-to-day activities/tasks
• You have had to change your job or stop working altogether due to a change in your capacity
