Get well soon, I so don't like reading such news

Yeah, well, he/she is not the one having to suffer because he/she could not wait half a minute more to let you pass

Make sure you contact BC/CTC solicitors asap before they realize how much they are going to have to pay out and offer you a couple of quid to mend the bike .

Broken shoulder is nasty, I did that after an "off" about 5 years ago. Had a big op to pin it all back together and then had to have my arm strapped to my side for 6 weeks. My advice; keep active as far as you can (I joined a gym and got them to provide me with a program of things I could do with my arm strapped) and get a good physiotherapist.

Happily cycling to work today 2 cars patiently waited to come around parked cars towards me, unfortunately car number 3 decided to turn off to his right and cut right across my path: no where for me to go.

Scrubbed off as much speed as possible but locked up in greasy wetness and smack!

Ambulance to A&E and I've broken my shoulder in two places.

Seeing a specialist on Monday but advised probably pinning it on Wed.

Thoroughly annoyed but could have been a lot worse. Very helpful bunch of people stopped to help and driver apologised many times.

I hope you are comfortable...well as comfortable as poss. GWS

Best wishes. I snapped my humerus in 2014 and they had to fix it through my shoulder, so I have some idea of what you'll be dealing with.

A couple bits of advice I would give are to try and keep the arm as mobile as possible, the physio does work if you stick to it IME, even though it won't feel like it at first.
Also see if you can find as many button up tops as possible. It's amazing how much easier they are to dress in than t-shirts.

Get well soon

Nasty, get well soon and hope you make a full recovery.

BC as CTC solicitors are farking useless. the laziness of the one dealing with my case meant i did all the legwork and rather than badgering the other side and chasing up CCTV sat and did naff all meaning other sides insurance are playing the no responsibility game and Cc have decided to not proceed further.

anybody fancy a good ol fashined burnin

 

[Mrs M]

Ouch!
Wishing you a good recovery.

[Sixmile]

Not good but glad you're here to tell the tale. Hoping for a speedy recovery for you and a positive resolution regarding your personal injury and repairs.

 

[EltonFrog]

@helston90 so sorry to hear that, I wish you well.

GWS.... Did you get names/numbers of witnesses (not the first thought in your mind, obviously)?

Yes but before we get out the torches and petrol, you should probably tell your CTC councillor that the current solicitors are farking useless. (The contact list is a PDF attachment at the foot of the page, which I think is not obvious.)

Ya think I not let CTC know ?
S and G were the "scumbag lawyers " ( if we are allowed barsteward landlords I think that's a good description)

I won't name the legal " executive/associate " as that would be unprofessional of me .
