ACCIDENT MANAGEMENT

Tl;dr

Cars, Vans, Motorbikes, Scooters, Lorries etc. (should) all have valid motor insurance. If they cause a crash that involves you, then you can claim on their insurance. That's what it's there for, and too often drivers get away with being careless and causing injuries and damage that was easily avoidable!

C-AMS are really good at claiming for injury & damage costs, and this service is a No Win, No Fee arrangement. Paradise Cycles has been working with them for many years, and have nothing but good things to say about them.

CAMS

They take a commission from the proceeds, but it's well worth it. Once your claim has been accepted, the success rate is really really high, and you don't have to put much effort in to get a fair result. They may ask you to visit a private doctor at some point, at a time that is convenient for you. Don't wait before starting your claim. Your bruises and scrapes are the evidence that will help secure a payout.
