Just spent 9 hours in hospital being prodded and x-rayed having been hit by a car in essex this morning. I was conscious but on the deck after the impact and know there were witnesses, and the policeman that was on the scene came to the hospital to tell me the driver had been charged with dangerous driving (he basically deliberately cut me up on a roundabout at speed) but I don't know what this means in terms of do I still have to chase them up/push for justice, or given that I was whisked off to hospital and clearly the victim, it should speak for itself? I've got the incident no. but obv. no witness details-can I get them from the police? I've yet to give an official statement so want to go through this thread in detail and get my shit together so this stupid prick gets the sentence he deserves.
I'm a bit edgy as I've always had the impression the police want nothing to do with these sorts of things, and the policeman went from saying 'the driver hit you' to 'the driver clipped your front wheel' (I remember pounding into bodywork, and my front wheel is fine as my pelvis and shoulder took the impact), and I'm freelance doing a physical job, so if I can't work for even a couple of weeks, I be fucked.
Studpidly been meaning to join CTC for ages and put it off. Will be joining tomorrow.
