The reason I came to post was to ask for whether anyone could recommend a lawyer for me, else I have to take extra ADD meds and go for a walkabout around kingston...

I still see it when I close my eyes, it replays like a show on Dave... :smile:

Are you a member of British Cycling or the CTC? If so, they offer 'free' legal advice. I put 'free' in apostrophes as it's not really a peek of membership - they use Russell, Jones and Walker who will happily take the case on regardless in most cases! Google them - they did a good job for my father in law.

As for song the accident repeatedly as per a rerun on Dave, I think you are fibbing. Everyone knows the only thing down on Dave is Top Gear :-)

When the dust finally settles, please do update us on what actually happens with your case :-)
 
Thank you for both kind words and advice.
I am meeting with the police this week, I will check what/when I can talk about, cos I am bursting at the gills :smile:

You could probably do with a friend or relative to talk it through with. It's understandable that you'd want to talk things through, but a public internet forum isn't the right place while the police are dealing with the issue.

Victim support. / counselling sound like some sort of psychiatric assessment - which puts people off

However they can and do provide an independent, supportive and non judgemental person that you can talk to confidentially ... And about what happened without fear of affecting the case

May be worthwhile looking in to
 
You are right. I could do, and would be happy with either, however they seem to be incompatible with mental health problems. Not even being alive by a close enough thing, belief systems' aside, to a miracle has made a difference. Never mind, I'll get to buy some new ones soon, and they'll be shiny ones this time.

Am waiting for the support people to come back to me, didn't put me off, but appreciate the concern,
and thanks again to all.

If you don't have anyone to talk to I would definitely talk to the support people as soon as you can and mention your personal situation to them as well.

Good luck mate.

I'm afraid all law firms in the UK are being absorbed (Borg-like @neveragainPLS? :-) ) by mega antipodean company Slater & Gordon. So CTC lawyers are now Slater & Gordon. I don't know how this effects the experience.

I was originally dealt with RJ&W when I had my run in, they changed to S&G during the case and there was no difference in service (a good one). Of course couple years down the line it could have changed.
