Success stories - accidents, thefts, attacks follow up

I'm not sure if similar thread was already created or not, but it would be great for the morale of other cyclists, if we could hear some positive stories about insurance claims, police reports etc.

Post here if you

**Have made a successful insurance claim after an accident / theft of the bike

Have brought an attacker, thief, reckless driver to justice**

Any similar stories... Apart form an instant justice vigilante stuff. More interested in the bureaucracy. Oh you know what I mean, even if it's not written in a plain English :-)

Hello,
This is my first post. I've been following this forum for some time now, but this is my very first post.

I had an accident in June 2007. I was travelling close to the kerb and as I approach a junction a car coming in the opposite direction turns right illegally and knocks me of my bike fracturing my left shoulder and other minor bruises. I got all the details from the driver, a fellow cyclist who saw the incident offered to be a witness, the police and an amubalce were called. The police was very helpful. I got £6589 compensation. Is a lot of money, but I still suffer from pain on my injured shoulder on cold days and I've got about 90% range on it.
That's my story. If anyone needs it, I hope not, I can give the details of the solicitors that took my case on a no win no fee basis. Ah,it took almost 13 month to get the payment.
Cheers

I'm sorry to hear what happened to you. Good to hear, that you managed to get some compensation.

I just noticed all the typos. My apologies.
