It’s the time of year when advice for a bike accident in traffic may be useful to a lot of riders out there. Christmas is over, and the big commutes are back.

Not only are the roads going to get busier and busier as the holidays close to a final end, the weather won’t be helpful either. We have a few more months of darkness and cold, wet weather to endure.

When the heating is up and the frustration of traffic in the dark gets too much, some drivers will make mistakes. That means a possible increase in the need for advice after a bike accident in traffic. For us, that means people are in need of our help, which we’re happy to provide.

Can you claim for a bike accident in traffic?

As an injured rider, you are entitled to claim compensation after a bike accident in traffic. If you were not at fault for the accident, you should be able to make a full claim for personal injury compensation. This means a claim for your injuries and for any losses and expenses caused as well (like lost earnings).

This includes when a you’re filtering between traffic – be it light or heavy. Riders know that filtering in traffic is fine, but a number of drivers still don’t appear to understand this. We have those quick lane-changers that often cause injuries to riders who are safely weaving through traffic. The ones who don’t check their mirrors when they sharply exit a line of traffic in frustration. Or the ones who U-turn for the same reasons.

Impatience and a warm car can cause a little bit of laziness for drivers. This can lead to increased incidents of a bike accident in traffic.
