Cycling is becoming increasingly popular in Ireland year on year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Unfortunately, cycling comes with some risks, and <\/span>hundreds of cycling accidents<\/span><\/a> happen each year in Ireland. Though many cycling accidents result in minor injuries, others sadly result in serious, and often life changing, injuries.

Always seek medical attention immediately. If your injuries are serious, and you are not able to do so yourself, ask someone to contact the emergency services.<\/span><\/p>\n Once you have sought medical attention, and when it is safe to do so, a cyclist involved in a cycling accident should keep the following steps in mind:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n A cycling accident that involves another party, such as another vehicle, cyclist, or pedestrian, should be reported to the Gardai as soon as possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Immediately following a cycling accident, it is helpful to gather as much information as possible. You should note the following:<\/span><\/p>\n Following the accident, you should keep a diary of your injuries. You should also take photographs of your injuries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Having the above information will greatly assist your Cycling Accident Personal Injuries Claim.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bicycle accidents can result in a range of injuries, varying in severity depending on the circumstances of the accident. Common bicycle accident injuries include:<\/span><\/p>\n Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are a significant concern for cyclists. Wearing a helmet can greatly reduce the risk of head injuries, but accidents can still lead to concussions or more severe brain injuries.<\/span><\/p>\n Cyclists often suffer fractures, particularly to the arms, wrists, and collarbones, when they fall from their bikes or are involved in collisions.<\/span><\/p>\n When a cyclist slides on the pavement, the friction can cause abrasions known as Road Rash. These injuries can range from minor scrapes to more severe wounds requiring medical attention. Road Rash can also lead to scaring.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Damage to muscles, ligaments, and tendons can occur in a bicycle accident. Sprains, strains, and contusions are common soft tissue injuries.<\/span><\/p>\n Facial injuries, including fractures, lacerations, and dental injuries, can result from impacts on the ground, vehicles, or other objects during an accident.<\/span><\/p>\n Severe accidents may lead to spinal cord injuries, which can have long-term consequences for a cyclist’s mobility and overall well-being.<\/span><\/p>\n Impact with a vehicle or other hard surfaces can cause internal injuries, such as organ damage or internal bleeding.<\/span><\/p>\n Any road traffic accident, including cycling accidents, can result in the injured party suffering psychological injuries which might include, <\/span>Post Traumatic Stress Disorder<\/span><\/a> (PTSD), depression, low mood, nightmares etc.<\/span><\/p>\n Minor injuries like cuts, bruises, and abrasions are common in bicycle accidents.<\/span><\/p>\n Sadly, some Cycling Accident Claims are made by the families of cyclists following fatal cycling accidents. If your loved one passed away following a cycling accident, contact an experienced Personal Injuries Solicitors for information about compensation which may be awarded to families in such instances.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n There are strict time limits within which Personal Injury Claims, including Cycling Accident Claims, must be taken.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Generally speaking, the time limit is two years but on occasions, the time limits may be shorter or longer.
