Hiya,
Last night I was going around a roundabout and about to reach the
point where a dual carraigeway came on to it.
Traffic in the fast lane (nearest to me) saw me, slowed down, and
then stopped. I cycled in front of the fast lane and was then hit by a
car travelling in the dual carraigeway's slow lane.
I've injured my wrist and if it had been a strain or something
relatively simple then I would probably have put it down to
experience.
Unfortuneately, however, the bone in my arm is split lengthwise and I
expect to hear tomorrow about whether or not an operation to insert
metal screws is needed.
Because my part-time job is also likely to be affected I'm now
considering the possibility of claiming compensation and wonder if
anyone could give me any advice:
Is "No win, no fee" my only option or can I make a claim direct to the
driver's insurance company?
I'm woefully ignorant about this kind of thing and would appreciate
any help.
I'm really going to miss my daily cycle rides
