Contact him as soon as possible. Unless he is not insured- this will cost him a new door. So he will be going through his insurance company.

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?
No police incident no required but it is up to the other party to inform his insurance company or pay up himself.
And for future incidents--Police have to be called if there is any personal injury involved to either party- So next time- Limp like mad and get the Police called.
