Bicycle accidents
The Principal of Bold Lawyers, Stuart Wright rides a bike to work and on weekends. We appreciate that nearly every time you ride a bike on a road there's always a chance of an accident, whether it be by a car, motor cycle or even a pedestrian. If you are hurt on your bike, we will act for you on a No Win, No Fee basis and make sure you obtain the compensation you are entitled to.
Cycling in Tasmania
Riding bikes on the road in Tasmania is dangerous. Governments and planners have not taken anywhere near enough steps to put in sufficient bike lanes or take other steps to ensure the safety of cyclists in Tasmania. Unfortunately drivers in Tasmania don't have a good awareness of cyclists on the road.
If you have had an accident whilst cycling on the road, the chances are you have injured yourself pretty badly. If thats happened to you, then contact Bold Lawyers and we will let you know where you stand for free. We offer free initial consultations and will be available to talk to you when it suits you. Its not going to cost you anything to know where you stand.
If the accident is going to mean that you are unable to work into the future, Bold Lawyers can make a negligence claim on your behalf against the insurer of the motor vehicle that caused the accident.
There are time limits that govern negligence claims in Tasmania. Generally a claim must be lodged within 3 years from the date of injury.
