Don't need to pull my head in, as opposed to your "mates" I have had a Father, Brother, Cousin and Nephew all killed on bikes. I hope that puts my comments into context.
On a diffrent note, make sure the haematoma gets checked out and dealt with properly. I recently had 4 ops in a week and spent much of that week with my thigh hnging open from hip to knee to deal with an (admittedly very very) large haematoma. Expect an ultrasound to see it and assess the size and maybe a small op to drain it. From my own experience though I would say at all costs avoid an epidural for the op, as thanks to that I had no idea of the rebleeding they caused which was the source of my bigger problems. Cracking scar left over though, but then I'm not a woman to worry about that sort of thing.

Sorry to hear that. Not that it has any bearing on this incident, but sorry, nonetheless....
If I were your friend I'd expect you to claim against me. That's the reason why I'd be insured.
Yeah, my premiums might go up, but again, an accident has occurred so it needs due process.
Reason for this - as a friend I'd not want you to be out of pocket. Also, if several years time when/if there's complications then the slate is clean...
In fact, I did rear end a mate - he slammed on the brakes and ducked into a driveway avoiding a ****t comming the other way on a lane. I braked but slid into the back of his car with mine. Anyway, he came down later with his Dad (long time ago) expecting all sorts of hassle with me saying it wasn't my fault - I just asked how much... But then there was no personal injury so a lot easier in the long run.
There's nothing spurious about making a claim in this situation
You would definately make a claim if it wasn't your mate
So ask yourself this, why are you considering NOT claiming simply because it's a mate who caused you to claim?
Your mate shouldn't have any issues with you claiming against his insurance, he WAS to blame he DIDN'T leave enough room for an emergency stop, hopefully now he will next time
Give the old bill a go at finding the suicide driver
