Hi All,
Last week, someone I know had an accident with a cyclist.
Simply, he was riding behind her car on the left, she indicated and turned left infront of him. As a result, he hit continued cycling without looking and rode into the back of her car. He got up straight away, and after refusing checking over by paramedics and speaking to police, he rode home.
It was his right of way despite the fact he didn't look, and she was liable (although has not admitted to this).
However, the cyclist is now claiming for damages despite having seen the guy riding his bike on the road, on a couple of occasions, following the accident.
Just wondering how he can do this, you wouldn't be able to claim you car was damaged if it wasn't.
Anyone experienced the same sort of thing?
Thanks in advance!
