I had something similar (was on a bike). He hit me decided for the sake of £150 to walk away once worked out he had no intention of paying and the police were not interested in going any further couldnt see much point. As always its the victim that looses out. Hope everything works out for you Matthew.

Just because his address is a big house doesn't mean he is loaded. Maybe he's renting a small box room at a low price.
Anyway - I don't think I would be ringing the Chief Exec of a hospital over things like this. Just ring the guy directly and if no joy proceed with a legal claim or let it drop.

"Just to clarify, I refuse to contact this person through their workplace, there are other means available and I do not feel comfortable taking risks like that. "
Then give me his number and I will call him for you. It doesnt bother me. Im an ex police officer and debt collector. Calling people at work was an everyday part of my job. I have no problem with it.
If you dally around your going to end up with nothing.
By the way the police officer and debt collecting were at different periods. Even though a lot on here will disagree.

Get over it and either claim on your insurance or in cash. I am sure your wonderful high speed driving videos on YT will go down well about your style of driving in court.
People with big houses and nice cars dont like the idea of thier credit rating being effected. I find the fastest way to get paid when they mess you around is to mention passing the debt over to a collection agency.
Its amazing how fast the money gets transfered after that.

It's small claims court potentially, not the Old Bailey lol
Just call him directly, go through the switchboard and ask to be put through. Worst they'll do is ask your name. Why on earth would you call the Chief Exec or indeed anyone's boss?! You're an adult aren't you, just call him? Or ask your mum or dad to if you're not able
Or you could let it go and give something back to those cyclists who've been hit and run by unknown or uninsured drivers

Be patient. Send a letter asking for payment in 7 days or you will take the matter to the small claims court.
Wait 7 days then go online and issue a claim at https://www.moneyclaim.gov.uk/web/mcol/welcome
Explain that you are claiming damages for negligence whereby he cycled into the side of your car and damaged it. Keep it simple and to the point. The repair of your car cost £ .
See if your insurer can tell you what your renewal premium will be in writing and add any uplift attributable to this incident.
The court will send him the claim and tell you when it has done so. You can apply for judgment if he fails to reply. Follow the court's instructions to the letter and if he defends it, you'll have a short hearing before a District Judge to attend.
You know where he works so you should be able to enforce any judgment by getting an Attachment of Earnings order. As others say above, he will probably pay up either on your letter or when he gets the claim through.

All my 20+ years cycling I always thought that drivers would become instantly aggressive if you hit their car. I hit a parked SAAB when I was about 15 years old and cycled off because I thought the driver would 'beat me up'
In my adult life, I have 3ed party cycling insurance and I think the main reason for getting insurance is to hopefully lessen the aggression of a driver I accidentally take his £500 wing mirror off.
Reading this topic its nice to know that almost all drivers would not become aggressive if they were hit by a cyclist.
As I don't drive and never have maybe its just me.
I think you dealt with it very well. From your description of what happened, I have been asking people at work and they all say that the cyclist is at fault.
