Thanks Mark. I'll get my side of the story in writing, and contact my insurer.
My insurance company is NFU Mutual, who I have always found excellent, and who have a very good reputation. They may not deal with this matter the way I would like, but I doubt if anyone else would do a better job, so I'll be wanting to stick with them.
I remain perplexed and curious about the medical side of this. I don't know a thing about neck and whiplash injuries, and I guess it is possible that the pain only starts a few hours after the incident. But he seemed fine at the time, and as I say, concerned about his rear bumper, rather than his own physical condition.
I obviously wasn't looking at the speedo when I hit him, and so have no idea exactly how fast I was going when I hit him, but it can't have been more than a few miles an hour. Especially as the mark on his rear bumper wasn't too bad.
There is one other thing which may or may not be worth mentioning. In the telephone call this morning, I was told the name of the other vehicle's owner. I didn't note it, but it was a lady's name, and I am pretty sure the chap driving it was alone in the car. Probably means nothing, but . . .
