I couldn't see anything in the accident thread about helmets. It seems be much more to do with negligence and who is at fault in the manouvre. I remember giving a statement when I'd seen a moped hit by a car whilst it was making a right turn. The ruling was that the moped was not speeding excessively and had a working front light (it was night time) therefore any car crossing it's carriageway was obliged not to block it's path.
It sounds very similar to yours. If you are travelling down a carriageway and the other vehicle is crossing your path, it's their obligation to give you space, you have right of way. Is this the case? Try and write an account of it clearly stating how who was crossing who's carriageway.
