if you cant give a reasonable answer to the above stop, if you can work out either to keep the bike and fix it or buy a new one ( many threads on here about getting crashed bikes back on the road)

tbh it sounds like you made a mistake and have paid a very small price, i suggest dusting yourself down, sorting out a bike and getting back out there, but only you can judge yourself and what you want

as one of my favourite expressions go "there will be tears before bedtime but it will be alright in the morning"
This

Its where I was thinking of, there is a president (of sorts) that makes any debris left by farm vehicles or waggons (inc quarry movements if within a certain distance) that makes the farm/ company liable as they're meant to keep roads useable (they rarely do).
With where this is, there's the farms and open cast in the area so a claim maybe possible
