Injury claims

Witnesses will help, also independent confirmation of this 'slippery' spot or if it has been reported to the landowner., as will the contemparanous medical records of your injury.

Keep a diary tracking any expenses you've incurred as a result of the accident as well as how your injury has progressed, any other visits to the GP and suchlike.

I'm not sure what (if any) responsibility the landowner will have to ensure its grounds are safe for cyclists as I haven't come across a case like this, I would anticipate a large degree of contributory negligence though at the very least as you've admitted you were going quite fast at the time.

What do you mean by 'slimey'? Wet moss? Icy? Some other substance on the floor? The landowner may have an inspection regime in place which provides a statutory defence.

Basically if you think you have a claim, as Raymond points out most solicitors will do a free consultation and that's your best bet as they will be able to advise far better.

Oh great and wise necromancer of posts, I'd like to draw your attention to this:

Do I actually have any grounds to make a claim?

The OP didn't specify whether he was talking legally, or morally. Not being in the legal profession, many of us simply commented from a moral standpoint which is fair enough - Raymond and Rich commented from a legal standpoint. :)
 
wow, and there I was thinking this thread had died a long time back.

And yes, Raymond and Rich are top guys, thanks for giving an informative, unopinionated response.
