1st Bike Accident After 28 years

[DJP]

Well, it finally happened.

After years of surviving dodgy weather and homicidal Volvos I finally got taken out this morning by a kamikaze pedestrian who thought it would be a great idea to run across a dual carriageway.

The bike's FUBAR'd, although I didn't actually fall off, but I have a broken right hand, torn rotator cuff and my right arm's an interesting shade of purple.

Sadly the pedestrian didn't fare quite so well with some nasty compound fractures.

Still, could've been worse.

So, what happened?

Riding along and pedestrian just ran across in front of you?

It was the stupidest thing ever.

He ran across the road from right to left. He's going left, I swerved right to go behind him. Accident avoided, job done.

Or so I thought...

But at the very last second, just as I was about to pass harmlessly by him, he span around and ran back the other way - straight into me.

The twat.

is it possible to claim from him in this situation since he caused the accident?

general question, not directed only at the OP

Get well soon dude. Sorry to hear you had a smack. Hope that the twat ain't to much of a pain to claim off. Oh yea we need a paint diagram as well.

Hope you get things sorted and all will be well.

Hope you managed to get a witness or two, or even better and have it recorded.

Did you manage to compound his fractures by kicking his teeth in as well?

Unfortunately I don't know what you'd be claiming against, as most people don't have insurance for this sort of thing. You could possibly push a conviction though? He'd get at least ten minutes community service for that!

If they have house insurance you can claim against that as they have personal liability too I think. Failing that send an invoice, and then I guess you will have to go through the courts.
