Hi,
Three weeks ago, I had a fall from my road bike. I was following a car round my local park - there were parked cars on the left. Suddenly, a car pulled out from the line of parked cars without signalling. This caused both myself and the car in front to brake. I didn't hit the car in front, but did fly over the handlebars of the bike and hit the floor with my face first.
The car that pulled out left the scene, probably not knowing what he had just caused. The woman of the car in front of me was aware of what happened only by the reaction of people walking on the pavement.
The tumble caused some facial cuts and bruises and also caused a radial head fracture (arm). This meant that I had to take time off work - 3 weeks in total.
I was wondering if anyone has experienced a similar situation where they have looked to claim compensation after their fall, but as the third party probably wasn't aware of what had happened, how to go about doing so.
Interested in hearing your thoughts on this.
Thanks.
