Road traffic collision
I was involved in a road traffic collision last month. I was cycling on a roundabout when a car failed to yield and collided with me from my left knocking me off the bike and throwing me 10 foot forward off their bonnet. Luckily an ambulance was coming from the same direction so was on scene quickly.
Given I was in a stretcher quickly and the driver didn’t get out of the car I didn’t get their details. When I gave my statement to the Gardai a week later I requested that info from them, they replied they would call me back in a few days with the details…that was nearly 3 weeks ago now.
I have called the station a few times now asking to speak to they Garda but they are either off duty or on patrol, I have asked to have a message passed on for them to call me back but that has not happened, when I called this morning I was told they had just finished their shift and would be back on Friday morning.
Would it be reasonable at this stage to call in tomorrow and ask to speak to the sergeant/super to get the info from the incident (driver insurance details, pulse number, confirmation they received the dash cam from the ambulance that should have the collision recorded)
I know they are very busy these days but it seems strange to not have shared this with me by now given they have those details from the evening of the incident. From memory I don’t think the car had any damage from me landing on it so possibly they are hoping I just stop asking so that the potential claim just goes away? My bike is wrote off and the gear I was wearing is wrecked so will need to be replaced at a minimum.
Thanks
