The accident happened at around 09:11 Wed night in the middle of Manchester. I was crossing a junction heading straight on a green light. The car driving in the opposite direction turned left and hit the back wheel of my bicycle. I fell face down on the road. While my helmet protected my head, my face was severely cut and scraped and I broke my tooth which I am devastated over.
Police took a statement from the driver, and took my bicycle to the police station while I went to hospital where I waited for around 4 hours to see a doctor who referred me to a plastic surgeon! how much of pay out should I expect for theses types of injuries and distress.
I got stitches and will have scars and my face is swollen, now I cant work because I work face to face with customers on a shop floor but I cant really do my job with such disfiguring injuries and its badly affected my confidence, so I was wondering if I can claim for loss of earning as well?
