How many cyclists are injured each year in Australia?
According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, around 9,000 cyclists are seriously injured each year in Australia. This includes both on-road and off-road accidents. In Queensland, between 2014 and 2018, approximately 1,200 hospitalised cyclists were injured annually.
During the same period, cyclist fatalities averaged about 10 per year. These figures highlight cyclists’ significant risks on Australian roads and emphasise the importance of safety measures and legal protections.
How do I claim insurance for a bike accident?
To claim insurance for a bike accident, you must have an active cycling insurance premium covering bike accidents or damage to your bicycle. Report the incident to your insurance company and provide all relevant details, including medical expenses, accident circumstances, and any motor vehicle involvement. A bicycle injury lawyer can help you with the claims process, ensuring bike accident compensation claims are filed correctly within the applicable time limits.
What happens if you hit a cyclist with your car in Australia?
If you collide with a cyclist, stop immediately, ensure safety, and provide assistance. Exchange details with the cyclist and report the motor vehicle accident to the police. If you leave the scene, it may be considered a hit-and-run accident. Seeking legal advice is essential to understand your liabilities and obligations.
If you are a cyclist, document the accident scene and seek legal advice. You may be able to claim cycling accident compensation for injuries or damages.
Can a bike accident cause PTSD?

- CTP Claim: Claim if a motor vehicle was involved through the at-fault driver’s Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance.

What if I don't have all of the driver's details, or they left the scene?
If the driver left the scene or you don’t have their details, report the hit-and-run accident to the police immediately. Seeking compensation may still be possible through your insurance or a state-funded scheme. Consulting a bicycle accident lawyer is crucial for legal representation and to ensure your rights are protected.
