⭐ “CLS did all the work to settle my claim.”

Being knocked off your bike is stressful enough, making a compensation claim shouldn’t add to that stress.

After a collision with a vehicle, Colin contacted Cycle Law Scotland. From that first conversation through to settlement, our team took care of the claim, keeping the process as straightforward as possible.

His verdict?

💬 “If anyone ever finds themselves in unfortunate circumstances after being knocked off your bike, I recommend giving them a call 100%.”

Thank you for the kind words and for trusting Cycle Law Scotland to help.

If you’re injured while cycling, speak to lawyers who are cyclists themselves, understand cycling and cycling accident claims.

MAJOR TRAUMA AWARENESS WEEK | DOUGLAS’ STORY 🚴

Douglas Robertson was an accomplished cyclist, riding around 7,000 miles a year. Racing, club runs, charity rides and commuting by bike were all part of his life.

Then, on a routine journey to work, everything changed.

Douglas was struck from behind by a car as he turned into his workplace. He was thrown from his bike and suffered a devastating burst fracture to his spine.

His injuries required major treatment and extensive rehabilitation. Despite throwing himself into his recovery, the consequences proved life-changing. Douglas was unable to return to the job he had held for more than 30 years and could no longer enjoy cycling in the way he once had.

His story is an important reminder during Day One Trauma Support's Major Trauma Awareness Week that the impact of a serious collision extends far beyond the moment of impact.

Recovery can take years. It can involve surgeons, rehabilitation specialists, case managers, family members and legal support, all working together to help someone rebuild their life.

Douglas is cycling again, albeit over much shorter distances, and his determination throughout his recovery is remarkable.

This week, we're sharing his story to help raise awareness of the very real, long-term consequences of major trauma.

🧠 Major Trauma Awareness Week

Not every injury can be seen.

For Philippe, the impact of his cycling collision wasn’t only physical. His story highlights the psychological trauma that can follow a serious accident — and why mental recovery deserves the same attention as physical rehabilitation.

In our client video, Philippe shares his experience alongside specialist cycling lawyer Jodi Gordon and psychologists Alison Harper and Helen Wilson, exploring the importance of early rehabilitation for both body and mind.

Major trauma doesn’t end when the physical injuries heal. The psychological effects can continue long afterwards.

This , we’re highlighting the different sides of recovery and the importance of getting the right support at the right time.

“There will be a tomorrow…”

Billy Roberton’s life changed when his leg was crushed by a car while he was out cycling, ultimately requiring a below-knee amputation.

But Billy’s story is about far more than the collision. It’s about recovery, rehabilitation and looking forward after a life-changing injury.

In our client video, Billy shares his journey alongside the professionals who supported him along the way — and shows just how much determination there can be after major trauma.

This , we’re sharing the stories of people who have experienced serious injury and the journeys that continue long after they leave hospital.

🚊 Edinburgh’s tram network could be expanding – but what does that mean for cyclists? 🚴

Today, councillors are considering the next stage of plans for a major expansion of Edinburgh’s tram network.

Whatever the decision, we believe one issue needs to remain firmly on the agenda: cyclist safety.

Where tram tracks and bicycles share road space, there are particular risks. A bicycle wheel can slip on a wet rail, become caught in the track groove or be forced to follow the direction of the rail.

Cyclists are often advised to cross tracks at as close to 90 degrees as possible – but anyone who cycles through Edinburgh knows that traffic, parked vehicles and road layouts can make that difficult or sometimes impossible.

At Cycle Law Scotland, we have represented cyclists who have suffered serious injuries in accidents involving Edinburgh’s tram tracks.

As Edinburgh considers the future of its tram network, safe integration with cycling infrastructure must be part of the planning from the outset.

We've updated our guide to Edinburgh tram track cycling accidents, including why these accidents happen and when an injured cyclist may be able to claim compensation.

🚴 What would you expect to find beneath a flooded cycle path?

When experienced cyclist Steven rode through standing water on the shared-use path at Hogganfield Loch in Glasgow, he had no way of seeing the significant pothole hidden beneath the surface.

His front wheel struck the defect, throwing him from his bike and leaving him with a serious wrist fracture that required surgery and a lengthy period of rehabilitation.

Our investigation uncovered important evidence:

🔎 A Freedom of Information request appeared to show no records of the path being inspected for safety or defects.

🔎 Witness evidence indicated the area regularly flooded and the surface had been damaged for at least a year.

Glasgow City Council accepted liability and we secured compensation for Steven without the need for court proceedings.

Standing water can hide serious hazards. When cyclists are injured because public infrastructure has not been properly maintained, it is important to investigate why the accident happened.
