Thanks for the advice guys.

Now got a couple of bruises starting to show up.. Injuries seem to tie up to me essentially rugby tackling the door of his car at about 15-20mph. All looks like I hit the bit at the top with my left arm, and the inside of the door with my knee, bent the door back. Think the bike carried on underneath me and that explains the pedal-whipping

Does anyone know if in the UK you have to have a police incident number in order to pursue an insurance claim? Is there a time limit on how long afterwards you can report it? Starting to stiffen up a bit now, so thought might nip up a&e in the morning or something to get it recorded and get the knee checked.

Will definitely go with advice re: having bike checked over, don't want another accident in the near future!

Anyone know of any success with insurance cases for being doored?


PS: Anyone tried one of these No Win No Fee things?
