Morning, I need some advice. Namely, should I escalate it to the lawyers, and if so does anyone know a decent lawyer?
So, I was cycling in the bus lane last Saturday, when a guy in a Citroen Saxo decided he really needed a McDonald's and cut across me at speed to get into one. He later admitted he was looking for buses rather than cyclists, which resulted in me crashing into the back of his car, followed by me on sprawled on the road, ambulances and the police being called by some kind passers by.
Name, phone and address details were later exchanged, and I took the bike into a shop who recommended that the carbon front end be replaced, as you can't tell if it's damaged until it fails catastrophically.
So my main concern is now the cost of replacement to the carbon bars and stem, and I'm not sure what to do next as this is my first crash.
Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks.
