ROAD ACCIDENT - BICYCLE
Going cycling in Scotland is a potentially hazardous activity. Road Casualties Scotland report that around 150 cyclists are killed or seriously injured in bike accidents in Scotland every year. Of those killed or seriously injured, around 25% are children.
In general terms, each road user in Scotland has a responsibility to act as a reasonable person would in any given situation. If that doesn’t happen and it causes a cycle accident in which someone else suffers an injury (whether a bodily injury or property damage) that could reasonably have been anticipated, the wrongdoer may be liable to pay compensation.
Separately from bike accident injuries sustained on the public highway, injuries that are sustained in other publicly accessible areas may also give rise to a right to compensation.
