You may remember I had a thread basically about how lucky I was to be alive after being driven into. It had a nice picture of my smashed helmet (but turned into what seems to be the usual polar argument about helmets - sorry i probably contributed to that!)
The insurance company have now sent me £500 via solicitors they appointed to act on my behalf as an "interim payment". £500 doesn't even come close to replacing the carbon road bike - let alone take into account personal injury. Still can't ride with badly broken finger, painful back and neck - though new bald patches appear to be growing back in
If I cash this cheque does it have any implications wrt to having to accept whatever final settlement they offer later, etc. It's just I could do with the cash right now as I have a deposit on a replacement bike at LBS that I would like to take up.
