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.

I was t-boned at a junction and pursued the driver through the CTC legal team. Initially I only wanted repairs - I wasn't really injured, but my front wheel was kaput. Then the driver started arguing it was my fault, so I threw the book at him. Slater-Gordon were very good, maybe chat to them and see what happens.

Get solicitors involved, will take a while, probably a year and counting but monetary payout will be worth it. Have a word with slater and Gordon or if you're a member of ctc or LCC you should have third party insurance with them and access to their legal team..

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.
