One of our team observed 47 cyclists in Pinner not wearing helmets this week. This is concerning, both from a safety and legal perspective.
Not wearing a helmet can result in contributory negligence in the event of an accident. That means even if the accident wasn’t the fault of the cyclist, it can be argued they didn’t do everything to protect themselves and compensation may be reduced in these circumstances.
At SC Law, we urge all cyclists to wear helmets to protect themselves and strengthen their health and legal position. If you’ve been involved in a cycling accident, contact us for expert advice from lawyers who care.
