Bike accident? No win no fee lawyers - any recommendations or avoidance?

[classic33]

Blathering on about nicking someone for making a malicious 999 call is pretty stupid in the context of a cyclist starfished in the road with broken bones.

Starfished maybe, but refusing to move until the ambulance arrives is another.

If I were in the situation I'd demand the police be called. It's the scene of an accident after all.
I'd ask for an ambulance if I was injured too, and if not get a checkup as a priority. That would create a paper trail.
But as for staying in the road, no chance. Round here people would start hooting and end up moving you out of the way so as not to have their journeys disturbed.

As for the legal bit I'd be straight off to the CTC or British Cycling for their recommendations.

Yeah, get up, you malingering tosser, it's only a few broken bones and a bit of concussion.

I dunno, these days people have no moral fibre or back bone - even if it might be broken.

Is it normal to be expect to be told how much someone received, when there's so many variables. Including the fact that many don't want others to know?

This gives an indication of precedents if your injury falls into those boundaries

I was thinking more of indivuals making it known, on here what they had got.

A pretty small sample in reality. I have no idea how much I might get. Be a big overall number potentially, Bupa alone have shelled out 16k at the last count so far for appointments, surgeries, Physio etc!
