Claimants/accident victims

You had an accident with your bicycle? Your bicycle was stolen? A component has failed? Your bicycle or component has a material defect?

In 1994 graduate engineer Dirk Zedler was officially appointed and sworn in as expert for bicycles (CCI Stuttgart) and has been acting on behalf of insurers, the courts, lawyers and private individuals since this time.
We draw up an expert’s report in consultation with your lawyer which you can present to your counterparty as documentation of loss.
Supported by a bicycle test laboratory which is state of the art and unique, extensive archives, there is no question relating to the topic bicycle left open.

Click media/publications to get an overview of all of our publications. Our lectures on conferences prove that we are always up to date with the latest developments in bicycle technology and the requirements of the markets.
