First accident

[rehmh05]

Hi guys

First accident - wildly unexpected

I was waiting at a t junction , checking to leave and a woman (wearing sunglasses when it was cloudy) drove straight into me.

She cut into my lane and was at quite some speed. I had some left knee injury but the ambulance just got rid of me despite complaining of pain .... I'm now waiting in the hospital to see someone about my knee.

I'm not wanting to make a false claim like some ppl. I genuinely feel knee is bad. I can't stretch leg fully. Just want to get advice , dos and donts. I've been advised not to contact insurance Untill speaking to a specialist lawyer by friends already?

Bike is probably a c/ d category ....

Note: police came and the lady did admit to fault immediately without hesitation .

Another important point to consider.
Was she a Fitty or a Munter?
Photos are invaluable for this.

And get well soon.

What was the extent of your injuries or are you still waiting to see the Dr.

Ask for the Ketamine....

hope you gws

as soon as you can call your insurance they will claim against hers unless you have her details in which case phone them

a personal injury claim will take longer as they have to wait 6 weeks to see if there is going to be any lasting damage before a specialist can see you to talk about costs

like roger says it may not look much but that knee injury may be a life changing thing

I had just started work after being clear by my consultant after near 12 months due to a bike accident

because of my knees and leg I have had to stop again as I have found I cant use ladders and cant maneuver about like I used to

I cant kneel down even with a pad under my knees as my knees hurt too much and lock into position so cant get up if I do

and cant climb ladders as I cant put all my weight onto just one leg

See if you have Legal Protection as part of your home insurance. Currently using mine following a hit & run off my bicycle.

Hi guys

Just done a rough doodle . Note: this is not an exaggeration of my positioning or the lady's . It the most accurate I can be!

Yellow is the box and the line she was taking .

Red is me and the line I was planning to take before she rammed me out of the blue

Should be clear cut then unless her story changes after she's had a chance to ponder that you were on a bike and therefore must have been doing something dangerous and illegal.

Have you spoken with her insurers yet? Got any witnesses? Pictures of the scene? Were the vehicles moved before Dibble arrived?

None of this should matter and it probably won't, but better to be prepared.

Yes, because you can DIY and they won't have to take a cut.
