    Having relayed the story of my more recent "incident", I'll counterbalance that with one from 3 years ago when cycle racing up in Newry. Can't recall what happened but reports were I was not at fault. Suffered a broken wrist, the other elbow was also broken along with the jaw plus 2 fractures in the sinuses, 2 in the temple, 2 in the eye socket 1 in the neck, 1 in the back. Was unconscious for 30 minutes suffering a traumatic brain injury. Also for good measure swallowed my tongue (not literally, but it blocked my airway - fortunately medics were on the scene within a couple of minutes and got me breathing again)

    I claimed medical expenses under a couple of insurances (one specific to cycling and the other my private health insurance), but was still a few grand out of pocket at the end of the day. Never even dreamt of claiming anything else - just considered it a "racing incident" and tried to get on with rebuilding my life.

    Why didn't you counter claim bear?

    I think I was probably naive and stupid. Plus this was around the time the recession was hitting and my job was on the line so I had a fair few worries going on.
    Damage wasn't too bad, needed a new wing and wishbone but fairly peeved off about it.
    Looking back I should have.

    Groarke is developing a reputation as the scourge of the spurious claims.
    Hat tip to him.
    And the bus driver!
