Lol, think it'll need more than a slam panel. That's the end of the chassis rail you can see poking through the hole in the bumper skin.

As well as the photos that Zarix suggested, you should use a note book to record painkiller usage, pain locations, how bad the pain is, things like not being able to move your upper body etc.
With the photos of bruises try and take them with something of an obvious, known colour so that people can't argue that the camera or photos changed what it looked like (a friend used kitkat wrappers and lucazade bottles as everyone knows what colour they are)

Good plan Sam!

Ouch

Looks like a nasty crash. The main thing is that you are both alright (nothing major) and the guy is admitting liability. Vix I would definately claim if I were you, Phil I wish I could not be hurt in crashes

Don't feel guilty about prosecuting him. When I was knocked off my bike by some **** I was a bit soft and I really really really regret not having thrown the book at him. I've learnt my lesson now - unless they kill me I'll do everything I can to press charges.

Make sure you do go to the chiro and get yourself seen to - no matter what the cost. Your health > any cost.

Still it gives you another project to work on now at least!

I think you are right there

Couldn't resist posting after my knock. I did wonder where the bumper bar had gone when I first saw the pics.

Glad you guys are ok

gutted about the car though

I'm glad you've snapped out of feeling sorry for him. He should have ****ing well looked and I feel like he deserves to lose his car and see a massive hike in his premiums because if it. He just blindly followed the van out without checking. Idiot idiot idiot.

As for flashbacks, I had them for a while. I can still picture the exact moment the guy hit me now. The thing that upset me the most was looking at my beloved car in pieces all over the road. Every time I walked past it before they picked it up, it made me well up. Absolutely awful.

I'm glad nothing's broken and really just hope that this doesn't hamper the recovery of your leg or make your backpain any worse *big gentle hugs*
