The damage to the car is also on the right hand side near the front. I'm not sure if it's the wing or a bit of the bumper,I suspect it hit my tyre first with a soft part of the car and the wheel of the car then hit my disk (my mudguard was caught in the wheel arch).
For the record the bike didn't even fall over, I just went from left foot down to right foot down.
I don't know if it matters but I'd only past my test 12days before, passed with a single minor and had four years experience on the bike with no other collisions. I'd recently attended a bike safety day run at a fire station where they did a demo of filtering past a junction, filtering had been mentioned in the lessons and my instructor also has a selection of youtube videos (Roadcraft Nottingham).
I had the most basic cover possible so no legal cover. When I first spoke to the lady at the insurance company she implied it was my fault! She also kept mentioning my car though and didn't come across as understanding of how bikes may use the road.
