NEARLY 100 cyclists have been injured on Warwickshire roads in the past year, according to new figures.
Data obtained by Advice.co.uk confirms that Warwickshire Police recorded 99 cyclist casualties during the 2024-25 reporting period.
Among them were two fatalities and 26 serious injuries.
The data highlights specific hotspots, with Warwick recording the highest number of incidents with 32, followed by Stratford with 23.
With more riders navigating the county’s mix of busy urban centres and high-speed rural roads, experts are warning that infrastructure is failing to keep pace with participation.
Tracy Chick, Road Traffic Accident Manager at JF Law, said: “Cyclist injury levels are still far too high. Many crashes could be prevented; they often stem from driver inattention, worn-out road surfaces, and a lack of safe, dedicated cycling routes.
“The consequences for cyclists can be extremely serious. From broken bones and head injuries to long-term emotional and financial strain, the impact of a collision is often life-changing.
“As more people take up cycling across the UK, improving road safety and ensuring justice for injured cyclists must remain a national priority. It’s vital that anyone injured in a cycling accident understands their rights and seeks legal advice as soon as possible.
“If the accident was caused by someone else’s negligence, whether that’s a motorist, local authority, or another party, they may be entitled to make a compensation claim to help cover medical costs, loss of earnings, and other related damages.”
