I WAS sorry to read about Matthew Jenkins’ cycling accident (Victim’s Appeal to find hit-and-run driver, Bournemouth Echo) and hope that the driver hands themselves in or Dorset Police finds them.

Cyclists and others injured in accidents with drivers who cannot be identified may be able to claim compensation for their injuries from the Motor Insurers’ Bureau. A solicitor can help make a claim.
