Thanks very much Nick, that's super helpful.
It's hard to concentrate on getting numbers and details when you're laid out in pain next to a car right?! In my case a (really lovely) witness took the details, but I think was more concerned with checking I was ok.It seems like such a pain to claim, and in general I am OK -- a couple of days going to hospital appointments, broken helmet, bike seems ok, but I'd like to have checked over, so not huge amounts of money, but still very annoying. I'll definitely drop Slater Gordon a message though FWIW. Thanks again!

Yes I had something very similar a few years back. I had CTC membership so it was all handled through their solicitors. ( I can’t remember who they were but looking it up it was Slater Gordon. It took a while but they dealt with all the paperwork. If it happened again - I’d make sure I took photos of the car and rang the number given on the spot. I had a broken arm so wasn’t thinking straight. Document everything - taxi receipts, hospital appointments and anything work related. I was freelancing at the time and lost a fair bit of work because I couldn’t physically do the job. Get witness reports, police reports any hospital appointments. If you’ve got any Cctv footage that will speed things up. Hopefully you’re ok. But definitely worth pursuing I think even if you have to appoint solicitor yourself. They will either say yes or no based on your circumstances. PM me if you need any more info
