BICYCLE ACCIDENT LAWYER LONDON
The Biking Lawyer London
Cycling in London is a smart, healthy, and sustainable way to get around, but it also comes with serious risks. Many of the city’s roads are still designed for cars, leaving cyclists exposed to dangers like distracted drivers, poor infrastructure, and road construction. When someone is injured because of negligence, we call it a collision, not an accident.
If you or a loved one has been involved in a bike crash in London, you may be entitled to compensation. This can include pain and suffering, past and future income loss, medical bills, and rehabilitation costs.
If a motor vehicle was involved, you may also qualify for Accident Benefits, which provide coverage for medical care, income replacement, and attendant care. Learn more about what you may be entitled to here.
Our lawyers have over 20 years of experience in personal injury law, and we ride too. We understand the complex injuries and emotional impact that follow a serious bike accident, and we are ready to help.

Accident Benefits for London Cyclists
If you are a cyclist struck by a motor vehicle in London, you may be entitled to receive no-fault Accident Benefits, even if you do not hold automobile insurance. These benefits are in addition to any legal claim you may bring against the at-fault driver. Many injured cyclists do not realize they have access to this vital support.
Accident Benefits can provide funding for medical treatment, lost income, rehabilitation, and other essential care, depending on the nature and extent of the injuries.
Details about how Accident Benefits work for cyclists can be found here.
The first step is identifying the correct insurance provider. This could be your own insurer, or that of a spouse or parent. If you do not have applicable personal coverage, the insurer of the vehicle that hit you will provide benefits.
If neither party has insurance, you may still qualify for compensation through Ontario’s Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Fund (MVACF), a public fund often used in hit-and-run cases.
BRAIN INJURIES AND CONCUSSIONS
A bike crash in London can result in a serious head injury, including a concussion, even if the cyclist is wearing a helmet. Helmets do not prevent all forms of traumatic brain injury (TBI).
At The Biking Lawyer LLP, we handle many TBI cases, and they are among the most complex and serious injuries we see. These injuries often occur in collisions involving motor vehicles, which remain a leading cause of brain trauma among cyclists.
The effects of a brain injury can be long-term and deeply disruptive, impacting work, memory, personality, and independence. If you or a loved one has suffered a TBI in London, our legal team is equipped to assess your future care needs and pursue the maximum compensation available.
ROAD DISREPAIR OR NEGLIGENT ROAD CONSTRUCTION
Not every bike crash in London involves another vehicle. Sometimes, it's the road itself that causes the injury, whether it’s a pothole, eroded pavement, or a construction area that wasn’t properly marked or maintained. These hazards pose real risks to cyclists, particularly when visibility is poor or signage is missing.
If you were injured in a crash and believe road conditions were a factor, it’s important to document the scene as soon as possible. Take photographs of the area, especially the specific hazard, and try to capture any relevant measurements.
Poorly managed construction zones are especially dangerous for cyclists. Sudden lane shifts, unclear signage, or leftover debris can result in serious injury. Because these areas are constantly changing, early investigation is essential. Reach out to The Biking Lawyer LLP promptly to help ensure that key evidence is preserved before it's altered or removed.
