Broken back and foot after RTA - can anyone recommend a good lawyer?
I was hit yesterday by a car that pulled out right in front of me. 8 hours in A&E later, I have compression fractures in 3 vertebrae and a broken bone in my foot.
It was an accident - no malicious intent by the driver; he just didnt look. But I guess I’m still entitled to claim through his insurance for personal injury.
I know there are loads of “cycling injury lawyers” online, including wiggle etc - but rather than just pick a random one i wondered if anyone here has any recommendations?
thanks

+1 for Leigh Day. I was hit by a car on a rounabout a few years back and they were great in handling the claim for me. I was put in touch with them via my BC membership, but I expect they'll deal directly too. Did the police attend and get witness contact details etc? Sounds really nasty. I hope you recover quickly and can successfully claim.
Thanks for the comments. I’ll try both and see who responds best...
See also bikeline. Done good work for some cycling pals.
Horrid. Wishing you all the best, agree the BC lawyers seem to have developed quite a niche for this.
My condolences, that sounds awful. The firm that works with British Cycling, Leigh Day, have a very good reputation.
They did mine a few years back. Took a while but did argue my corner pretty well
