Claims<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is quite common in Cyprus. If you have been injured whilst riding your bike due to a pothole, you may be able to make a claim for compensation.<\/p>\n<p>Neglect and poor maintenance of the roads with a combination of vehicle override with extreme weather conditions can make our roads in Cyprus hazardous for cyclists as potholes develop.<\/p>\n<p>With the cost of properly maintaining our roads and the attempt of government and municipalities to keep costs down it is not difficult to understand why municipalities and local authorities sometimes fail to discharge their duties to maintain roads up to standard. Our experience demonstrates that a significant percentage of cycling accidents is due to potholes and faulty roads.<\/p>\n<p>While local authorities may seek to argue in Court that they have met their duty to inspect and maintain the road to a satisfactory standard, where a cyclist has been injured due to faulty roads we will often be able to demonstrate to the Court that this duty was not met adequately.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1626d038 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1626d038\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Document Your Cycling Pothole Claim<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you have been injured as a result of a pothole on the road whilst cycling it is very important that you do the following,<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list-2\">\n<li><strong>Note the location of the accident<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; take a measurement of the pothole, including the depth and its position in the road in relation to the kerb, also make a note of any other road defects in the surrounding area.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"list-2\">\n<li><strong>Take photographs as soon as possible<\/strong>\u00a0to show the measurement (a sense of scale), also take other pictures to try to give an idea of its position in the road.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"list-2\">\n<li><strong>Take more photographs<\/strong>\u00a0of the damage to your bike and any injuries you have sustained.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"list-2\">\n<li><strong>Report the pothole<\/strong>\u00a0to the local authority, usually the local municipality.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cf33714 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cf33714\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"moduletable bread\">\n<div role=\"navigation\" aria-label=\"Breadcrumbs\">\n<ul class=\"breadcrumb bread\">\n<li><strong>Usual Defence of Municipalities<\/strong>\n<p>Even though this sounds simple, cycling compensation claims involving potholes can be extremely complex on the matter of proving liability.
