My gf broke her wrist taking evasive action during a similar situation (in Manchester).
Wrong thread, but are you making some sort of claim; new helmet, repair damages etc?
Driver in question in our situation just rolled down her window, said 'sorry', and drove off (we have witness contacts and a number plate). Kirann missed X weeks of work, hence X weeks pay. Been sitting on it/she hasn't pursued anything, but I'm quietly thinking that isn't quite right.

This on the way home last night. Silly cow coming in the opposite direction pulled a right and crossed my bus lane thru a gap in stationary traffic without checking. No matter how many segregated cycle lanes are built and lights installed people will still think it's OK to go even when it's not safe. This lady's excuse? Another driver in the stopped traffic flashed her out to go. I did a 3 or 4 meter stoppie but couldn't avoid the inevitable superman over the bars. Head hit first. Its all road rash and soreness. Police attended. Ambo too. But I cycled home. Probably the end of my Bell helmet. Saved my life. Seriously.
