It wouldn't be politic to say too much but I do have a claim going through at the moment in regards to recovering costs/personal injury.
The PC was great and made sure he got the drivers details - put them in my bag for me so they would be easy to find. The paramedics were uniformally great too. Luckily the accident wasn't too far away from Kings - and being a teaching hospital (and a slow day in A&E) with lots of specialists I got a great deal of attention (Max-Fac etc).
I was a bit dismayed at receiving the standard 'not enough evidence to proceed with further action' letter from the police. There was one guy who identified himself as a witness and plenty of other people around.... but hey, I suppose I didn't really expect much more. It would have been of some satisfaction if the driver had been sent on one of those training/awareness courses though. Hopefully he'll look out for cyclists a bit more carefully from now on though...
