nkmjr Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I would like to thank everybody from the bottom of my heart, who helped me when I was run over on Ulverscroft Road on the way to work on the morning of 5th November. Thank you for the reassuring words, for arguing my case for an ambulance, the blankets, pillows, gloves, hat, water (with a straw!)and for the hot water bottle! You were all amazing. I am now out of hospital with a cage on my leg and a fractured eye socket, but it could have been so much worse, not least if you hadn?t looked after me so well. The police are looking for witnesses, so please do call them if you saw the accident Mon-Fri on 020 7230 7997. THANK YOU .

Lowlander Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Sympathies. And good on the people who helped. Don't think about the people who did it and ran (or drove) way, they'll meet their end.And if you can, get back on your bike as soon as you can if you can. I was lucky enough to be able after a hit and run, but it took three months to get there! Chill out for a week if you can (no work) at least and don't worry.

goldilocks Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Even if the driver gave a statement, they will still want witnesses if possible. Wonder if any of the houses there have cctv covering it?nkmjr - I hope you make a quick recovery.

spark67 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 If its a proven case the driver was at fault try and get your self a decent lawyer .. I did after I was hit by a van not giving way at a junction on the south circular, two years ago (he was charged by police)I hired a lawyer .. through the law society so I didn't get an ambulance chaser firm. and I was able to access private medical care, including a physiotherapist and physiological help for PTSD and a live changing injury which has left me walking with a stick, also helped me to get cover for time off work due to initial injury and time off for two operations (have another one in a weeks done privately)Case still ongoing, took me a year to finally get back on my bike, still apprehensive though, but I was very physical active before and needed to get my exercise routine back to some extent to help with my injury.Hope you recover quickly and there are no long term effects.

goldilocks Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 If you're a member of LCC then you get legal cover with your membership - I think that its a partnership with Osbornes.

nkmjr Posted December 9, 2021 Author Share Posted December 9, 2021 Hi everyone. Thanks again all. There is a dispute over liability for the incident and I would be incredibly grateful if anyone out there who saw the accident itself or the aftermath might get in touch with the police please on 020 7230 7650 or if anyone took any photographs.... I saw some people taking photos.... My recovery is proving to be slow but steady....still not back to work at school.... All the best...Kate Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/297859-serious-bike-incident-on-ulverscroft-road-710am-friday-5th-november/#findComment-1553041 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leara4077 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Wow very sorry. I wasn't there but as a fellow cyclist wanted to pass on my regards. I was in a hit and run a few years ago and it took me a while to get my confidence back but hopefully this doesn't keep you off the bike forever.
