It helps to have someone that works specifically with cycling, as they know the specific laws and loopholes. How about this guy?

In my case I got repairs to my bike paid for, and some extra for minor injuries. Don't talk to the other party's insurance claims adjuster before talking to a lawyer, or at least don't agree to go on record.
