• You've submitted a request for the actual CCTV yet? Get it quick! AND lawyer up! There's a forumer who's highly recommended but can't recall right now.

  • Small update.

    Yep, I've handed the petrol station a proper letter requesting footage. The assistant manager didn't know how to copy cctv so I'll go back next week. However, she did tell me that the police had been in and taken a copy, and that fault was clearly the driver's. Hoping the PC puts that on his report.

    O's replied to my pm with advice. I'll monitor my injuries til the new year. Likely I will need to write directly to the insurer rather than involve a solicitor.

    Started photographing all evidence of damage to the bike and clothing, property, body.

    Mechanic in Halfords was cool, gave me a full handwritten report, recommending a new bike unless all damaged parts are replaced due to carbon fork etc, and difficulty sourcing specialist parts like 1" aero bladed carbon forks.

    Another bike shop needs to print me a formal quote for repair/replacement of parts and will do so next week.

    I decided one independent and one chain, because an insurance company will know of Halfords so tough to argue with.

  • Seriously get a solicitor to handle all the claim, it's a load of time and hassle, and they will get paid for their efforts you won't be compensated as well if you do it yourself.
