Disappointing result. Contacted LLC's firm Osborne's Law and said I was a member of LLC. They called me and took the basic details and then emailed me back to say that it's "likely that the compensation for the injuries you sustained will fall below £1000. Claims for injuries below £1000 are known as ‘small claims’ for which you are unable to claim your legal costs. If you went ahead, your legal costs will diminish the value of any compensation you recover considerably so it is unlikely to be worthwhile engaging a solicitor."
Also, I texted the driver and asked for his insurance details but he said he wants to contact his insurer himself first. I have the bike booked into the local bike shop for a crash inspection on Wednesday next week. I've also got some damage to my clothing and will need a new helmet.
