Rich
Sorry to hear about this mate :(
Was the bike left in first gear when the police arrived ? as That would confirm what you told them [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
As for them saying it was you're fault, they alway's seem to blame the biker >:( even though it seem's obvious that the Vito driver pulled out on you :o
Hope you recover soon mate, and the bike's not to damaged :-/
bikes a complete write off sadly :( no idea what gear it ended up in could be 5th as far as i know, i9m hoping it will go 50 50 as at least i get something
I'm so sorry Rich. Hope you heal up quick and manage to get the bike sorted. Can't help with advice as I really haven't got a clue how it all works, but I do know they always blame the biker and they always say we were going too fast.
thanks :) i will update when i know more but itll be at least 8 weeks hopefull bout the same time the insurance will ttake
Sorry to hear this GET WELL Soon :)

Just one question did the van come over halt or give way markings when pulling out.
Do sorry to hear this, I hope you recovery quickly, are they going to have to pin your wrist, looks like a nasty break.
there are give way markings there (the lines and triangle on tyhe junction)

Never been in this situation but it sounds like you need a chat with a lawyer to get some advice
What a bastid mate :(
Mend well and good luck
Don't worry about it healing in the wrong place, doc's will sort it out!
Ouch!!!!
Very speedy recovery [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Rich, from what you have described the van is too blame as he has pulled out from a side road across a main road in the path off incoming traffic. He would be even more culpable if the junction was either give way or stop controlled. You speed may be considered a contributory factor and mitigation for the van driver, but he has still failed to see you thus he has driven without due care and attention. Feel free to give us a shout if you want to chat about it in more detail.
Sorry to hear about the accident and hope your recover is quick
The junction is give way, iirc, it's a crossroads.
F**k Rich but those pics look grim. It's one thing to hear it from you, and another to see that. Jesus.
It sounds very much like the van is at fault, but if any witnesses are local to Herd St, it's possible they've got a grudge against bikers.
I do fairly frequently see some pillock on an SRAD utterly arseholing it up that hill, hitting at least 65-70, in the middle of the day.
A friend of mine was in a similar situation and the police blamed him for it because it was him that hit the vehicle, even though the vehicle pulled out in front of him. The insurance company also blamed the rider.
I, personally, blame the van driver for being dick but we all know that there's still a large number of other road users that fail to notice bikes regardless of how many adverts they do to prevent this >:(
I hope you have a speedy recovery anyway mate, it's always sad to hear when a fellow biker gets hurt but I'm glad that it's nothing too serious [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
get well soon
Sorry to hear about ur accident :(
Get well soon [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Mate get well soon fella.
Bad news buddy. Focus on ya recovery then fight hard for your insurance. DaytonaDog sounds definately worth havin a chat with.
Speedy recovery and best of luck [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Sounds very scary and painful and sorry to read it all. I hope you make as quick a recovery as possible.
Hope the wrist gets better very soon.. sounds like you did nothing wrong buddy. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
That x-ray looks sodding painful, take it easy there for a while.
Worry about all the bureaucracy when you feel up to it. Send someone for some good DVDs and scotch and take it easy!!!
So sorry to hear of your accident - hope you're on the mend soon.
I met these people at the NEC: http://sorrymate.com/
Sounds like they might be worth talking to.
Rich
sorry to hear about your off mate. speedy recovery and have a chat with Chris for sure.

I'm not thinking it's a terrific start, as a law firm, that the first thing I read on their site was misspelled.
:-?
sorry to hear about your off, hope you get well soon!
my brother had pins put in his leg when he broke it 6 years ago but the took them out once his leg was healed and he kept them as a souvenir so you could end up with a gross souvenir of it all!he only has 2 small scars out of it aswel so hopefully you wont get a huge one either!
get well soon and hope you manage to sort the insurance
I am so sorry to hear about your accident mate.
Concentrate on getting better first you can always get a new bike.
Theres quite a few bike specific law firms I have seen in the back of bike mags. Give them a buzy, I know most are no win no fee and they will be on your side.

Isn't silverless street closed at the moment? If so that could help your case.
Hope you're feeling better. I've broken both wrists a few times and always find it hurts most at night :(
I don't think it's closed, but I think it is one way atm.
