A week ago i was involved in a serious RTA on my way into work - i recall climbing a hill i normally commute on then coming to in an ambulance. My memory has started to come back about the incident and what i remember versus what i'm being told by police/car driver is somewhat conflicting. I was concussed and required a morning in Maxillofacial surgery to get my face back together. I have lost part of my tongue and most of my bottom teeth and have scars across my face. I am alive but sore.
Police and car driver tell me that i rode directly into the back of the parked car. There are no other witnesses. There is no CCTV.
My memory is slowly coming back and i remember it differently. The car driver pulled out of the junction pretty much on top of me then came to a halt in a bus stop/cycle lane in front of me causing me to ride into the back of the car.
Driver is now pursuing me to settle via insurance for damages to car. I do not have bike insurance but could sort this out via my home insurance. My bike is destroyed.
I am speaking with my solicitor on Monday (earliest appointment i could get). Is there anything else i should be doing?
