Got doored, any advice?

Hi, new here.
I was commuting earlier this week and I got doored cycling in a cycle lane which had a layby on the other side. I'm aware of the door zone but i was cycling in lane with moving traffic and didn't see anyone park up so I asumed the cars were empty.
The street was lit and I cycle wearing hi vis and also with 2 lights on the front, one of which is a Knog Blinder Road 3 which was on full beam flash - its an attention seeker.
I had to be taken to hospital in an ambulance, broke my foot and have tissue damage to my shoulder. I have had to take some time off work as I need to keep my foot elevated and can't do that at work.
Bike's got some damage, not sure if its beyond economical repair.
I'd be looking at making a claim for the damages to the bike although I hit the floor real hard and banged my head and was confused so I can't remember that much. I think the police took statements from passers by. I've been given a police liaison to get in touch with, but he won't be around until the start of next week.
I've got pics of my cuts and bruises and have tried to dig out receipts for damaged items. What steps should I take before approaching his insurance? Should I wait to get in touch with the police first? I've written down all the facts in a notebook so i don't forget.
Has anyone here had an accident and been in a similar situation to myself?

It is important to have a crime number for such claims.
