Had an interesting one the other day....I can't remember exactly what happened but apparently I hit some mud and a pothole causing me to come off the bike then a 4x4 coming the other way clipped me and I ended up being run over with the jeep coming to rest on my hand......upshot is dislocated shoulder,cracked vertebrae, dislocated thumb, two open fractures in my hand a broken wrist and four broken ribs, was unsure if they could save my thumb but it appears they have by wiring it back onto my hand, apparently I was unconscious for 45 mins and it was all touch and go. 2 ops down at least one more to go in a few weeks then a lot of treatment and physio to get some movement back in my thumb and finger, my whole right hand looks a mess which is pleasant!
The accident seems to have been caused by the poor state of the road, a fact that had been reported to the council on a number of occasions over a long period of time by a lady who stayed with me throughout the whole drama, so the point of this long rambling message is to see if anyone else has successfully made a claim against the council for causing an accident to make sure I do everything I need to do
