Money won't remove the injuries but will go towards potential treatment costs and loss of earnings (my job has quite a minimal sick day policy and I've already taken a couple of days off). I'm definitely not one to make false claims (and would not risk breaking the ethical code of the professional body I'm a member of, either) but don't want to be out of pocket for something that wasn't my fault.

You seem to be misunderstanding what you are claiming for.


The compensation element is nothing to do with your costs/losses as a result of the accident. You can claim for loss of earnings as well as treatment as well as damages to property. With my incident (car hit me on a bicycle) the other insurer offered to pay for physio but it was cheaper and easier to go via my own physio, fortunately at work we had at least 2 weeks paid sick so I didn't need to claim for loss of earnings as I was only off a week but I also claimed for repairs (new helmet, bike service) and losses (such as bike rides I had organised that I couldn't attend).
