Hi everyone, I'm new here.
I was knocked off my bike this morning on Hackney Road, E2, London. I was hit from the side by a driver coming from a side road joining oncoming traffic. I was overtaking a traffic jam and she popped through a gap on the left and hit me on my left side.
I'm not hurt but my bike is buggered in a few places. I called a accident solicitors but they said they could only help if I was personally injured. I called the police straight away and got a crime reference number. She refused to accept responsibility claiming I shouldn't be overtaking the traffic. What should I do, how can I get reimbursed for the damage to my bike?
Thanks, any advise much appreciated.
