The very least you should do is ring them if it's only a couple of hundred bucks for repairs..

Good luck.

Remember - anything that devalues your bike (ding on the forks or a shoddy touch up job) is money out of your pocket.

If you lose your no claims bonus - it's money out of your pocket.

Bringing a lawyer into it will likely be money out of your pocket.

If you don't get fully re-imbursed for your safety gear it's money out of your pocket.

The first thing anyone will do when settling a claim for you is to have you sign somenthing that says you agree this is a "Full and Final" settlement on the accident. Jot down all your losses, get a list of all the possible ways you are/will be out of pocket and persue that.

Good luck - and keep a diary of events - who said what and when. It might come in handy in a dispute...
