2012-09-05 - Rider Down (me), Old Bond Street

Old bond street, Stafford street junction, hit by a black cab around 5:20pm

Wasn't allowed to move once hit. I was lucky attended to by a doctor straight after the collision. Would love to say a great thank you to him and everyone that helped divert traffic away from me until the emergency services attended.
Looking in to legal action as I now have damage to my lower back which has prevented me from working.

Rest up mate. don't go back working until you are right either.

Heal up quick. The police many be able to pass on a letter to the Dr, assuming he gave a witness statement...

i'm hoping so, i remember his name was alex but other than that i had no ones details cept the guy who locked my bike up in the rolex secure parking.

I didn't see the cab nor the cab driver the whole time, as i was told not to move at all, it was either a black cab or an addision lee cab.
I have a reference number for the drivers details, does anyone know what sort of reference number this is: 'LSxxxTW'

(x = numbers)

That number might be a badly written registration number if the third x is a 5 or 0

It doesn't look like a taxi or minicab driver's number, it might be a minicab licence number or some kind of number for a cab from outside London.
What you need is a solicitor. The police should have details of your crash, they should give you an incident number but a solicitor will be able to get more details, West End Central police station is in Saville Row 020 7437 1212.
