Whilst cycling and paying attention to an oncoming car, a cyclist was injured when his front wheel fell into a hole in the road which had been left by workman.  The workmen had been putting a dropped kerb in place. They had used a cutting machine and failed to fill in the gap of around 3 inches in width away from the kerb once the kerb had been put in place.

The cyclist was thrown over his handlebars and suffered a soft tissue shoulder injury.

He took photos of the area and after seeing his doctor decided to make a no win no fee injury compensation claim.

The defect area was repaired by the company soon after his accident had been reported to them.

When out cycling with a friend, a boy was injured when his bike hit a pothole, causing him to be thrown over the handle bars into metal railings.

Kieran Smith, aged twelve of Exwick in Exeter, required hospital attention due to the cycling accident as it caused bruised ribs, black eyes and cut lips.

Kieran’s dad, is not happy with the council who have left the potholes unrepaired in Kinnerton Way, Exwick, Exeter, where the cycle accident happened.

He feels his son could have sustained much worse injuries from his accident.

As he hit the railings with such force, it was described his injuries looked like he had done 12 rounds in a boxing ring.

A spokeswoman from Devon County Council went to inspect the pothole which caused the cycle accident, and said ” We have been to inspect the area and do not consider the small hole to be a safety defect.”

For accidents and injuries caused by potholes, often a claim for injury compensation is made by the injured party. We can advise if a claim for tripping on a pothole, or whether a claim for an accident caused by cycling into a pothole can be made.
