I'd be interested to know whether the OP did put in a personal injury claim and to find out for how long after after the accident he was plagued by phone calls from compensation claims agents. I would like to know whether the act of putting in a claim is an effective deterrent against these parasites. If it is I might just change my position of "minor bump - nothing to claim for" to "claim for all you can get". In my experience not claiming seems to result in unsolicited calls and texts for years after the original incident. The calls are annoying enough but getting texts while roaming and having to pay for the privilege of being touted really rubs salt in.
