  Subj: Liability when pedestrian hits car  
 From: megane.06@gmail.com 
  
 My friends son went flying into a car tonight whilst chasing a loose dog 
 and disn't see it. 
  
 There's damage to the windscreen and side of car.  Obviously the lad is 
 totally at fault but it got me wondering as to legal liability. 
  
 I remember several years ago going down the left hand side of a dual 
 carriageway passed a long line of stationary cars who were stuck at a 
 roundabout further up, came to a pelican crossing which was green and a 
 youndg female walked straight into my path, damaging my windscreen. She 
 was badly injured and taken away by ambulance, and I never pursued it 
 further, nor did I know how to.  I laimed on windscreen insurance for 
 repair, just paying the excess.
