Am I still able to claim if I wasn’t wearing a helmet at the time of my cycling accident?

Yes, you can still make a claim. Not wearing a helmet doesn’t stop you from being entitled to compensation if someone else caused the accident. However, if your injuries were made worse by not wearing one, your compensation may be slightly reduced. Each case is judged on its facts.

What if the driver who hit me didn’t stop or was uninsured?Carl Waring2025-06-09T14:46:24+01:00

What if the driver who hit me didn’t stop or was uninsured?

You can still claim, even if the driver fled the scene or wasn’t insured. In these cases, we’d make your claim through the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB), which helps victims of uninsured or untraced drivers. Our team at Mooneerams will guide you through the claims process if you’d like them to.
