| 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. --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05 * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2) |
