Help for members
The Members' Incident Helpline offers legal and insurance assistance to members who have been involved in an incident whilst riding or wheeling their bike and where appropriate will arrange advice and representation from professional personal injury lawyers experienced in handling legal actions on behalf of cyclists.
Expert service
British Cycling's lawyers are recognised leading experts in personal injury litigation and in acting for sports men and women. Whether you have suffered a catastrophic injury or simple damage to your bicycle, you will receive a personal, first class legal service to deliver your compensation.
Our promise
• You will not be asked to purchase an insurance policy to indemnify you against a Defendant's legal costs in the event of an unsuccessful claim.
• You will not be asked to purchase an insurance policy to cover legal disbursements.
• You will not be asked to personally fund any legal disbursements.
• You will keep all of your compensation.
What Next?
When you report an accident, your membership details and a brief description of the incident will be taken over the telephone and a report sent immediately to our appointed solicitors and / or insurers. If you would like to receive the support of British Cycling's solicitors you must report the incident to the Incident Helpline within 12 months of the incident. An Incident Information Form will then be sent to you within 24 hours of reporting the incident, which you should complete and return without delay. The form that you receive will be used by both insurers and solicitors, as there are often disputes about liability after the event.
