If you’ve been a cyclist hit by a car, you’re not alone. Across Bolton, Oldham, Wigan, and the wider Greater Manchester area, incidents involving cyclists are on the rise — often with devastating consequences.

Whether a driver failed to see you, didn’t give way at a roundabout, opened a car door into your path, or turned across you at a junction, you could be entitled to compensation.

At Inson Legal, we understand what injured cyclists go through — physically, emotionally, and financially. We provide clear, honest legal advice and No Win No Fee representation, helping you focus on recovery while we handle the rest.

Common Injuries for Cyclists Hit by Cars

Cyclists are vulnerable road users — with little protection beyond a helmet and clothing. When struck by a car, injuries are often serious and long-lasting. Common cycling injuries include:

• Wrist fractures and soft tissue injuries, particularly from instinctively trying to break your fall.

• Elbow injuries, including dislocations and complex fractures requiring surgery — something Chris Hutchinson, our solicitor, has personally experienced.

• Facial injuries, such as cuts, bruising, dental damage, or broken noses from striking the ground or car.

• Fractured collarbones or ribs, especially in side-impact incidents.

• Head injuries or concussion — even with a helmet.

These injuries can lead to time off work, private treatment costs, long-term rehabilitation, and lasting psychological trauma. We ensure that every aspect of your loss is taken into account.

Local Case Study - Beehive Roundabout

Chris recently settled a claim for a cyclist who was knocked off his bike on the way home from work at the Beehive roundabout in Horwich.

As the cyclist was travelling over the roundabout in the cycle lane, a car driven up De Havilland way towards the Beehive pub did not notice the cyclist on the roundabout.

The driver went onto say that she was focussed on the cars on / approaching the roundabout from her right. This is a common danger cyclists face when using our roads. As a result, she nudged forward over the giveway sign and knocked the cyclist off his bike.

He sustained typical injuries which included sprained wrists, hip pain, abrasions and knee pain. his bike was also damaged in the accident.

Chris Hutchinson arranged for examination with a familiar and well known expert to prepare a report outlining the injuries and recomended rehabilitation treatment. Fortunately this cyclist did not suffer any broken bones and was fully recovered in a few months.

Settlement for the injuries was achieved in the sum of £3,000 and in addition, £550 was recovered for bike repairs.
