Just after New Year one of our employees was knocked off her bike in Holborn. The bike was damaged beyond repair, employee was hospitalised (A&E) and the driver admitted fault. (Driver sped off before the ambulance arrived because she was late! Urgh)
Our employee has the reg number and driver contact details, as well as police report, witness statement and doctors report.
She wants to claim for
New bike
Travel expenses incurred since the accident.
As the claim is for less than £1000, it doesn't seem worth employing a solicitor. Should she simply write directly to the driver's insurers with supporting documents to make the claim?
