Many years ago. That many that the car was a six month old Astra on an f plate prefix. I was sitting in a Jam waiting for traffic to move when a School kid ran into the rear offside door. Picked himself up and ran off. Kids in a hurry!!

I doubt the kid was insured anyway.

I don't know about this fool, but I imagine I'd be too embarrassed to tell my parents about what a brainless idiot I was on the way home, almost getting myself and others hurt, so I think the chances of him telling them and you getting an injury claim against you are low... however, YMMV, he may think it was your fault, but I expect he knows he wasn't looking!

Same thing happened to me in London a few months back. I admonished the pedestrian for being a complete and utter d  head and then rode off. Nothing happened beyond that.

My kid brother bounced off the side of a car in Scarborough (I forget what sort of car, it was the early 70s so probably something by Sunbeam, Hillman, Wolseley, Austin, Simca, Wartburg, Morris or Humber  ) when he vaulted over a fence at a roundabout. Can we sue someone?

Kid on a skateboard was skating across three lanes at the junction of a roundabout. I stopped pulling up to the roundabout, the inside two lanes were stationary due to cars on the roundabout, and he skated into the side of my car, rolled over the bonnet, no visible damage, to the car, slight graze on elbow. Anyway someone called an ambulance as he winded himself.
Anyway, I had to do a producer when the poilce turned up, no great shakes. I was informed I may be prosecuted for driving without due care and attention.
Told the insurers, filled out a form.
Came to renewal, insurer had paid out 10K in damages. For some kid skating across a roundabout and running into the side of me. Brilliant...

I was once sitting in traffic when someone crossing the road behind the car caused a huge thump through the car.
It turns out this person had walked straight into the tow bar. Hence them limping the rest of the way across the road clucthing their shin.

I was on a bus that crashed (driver tried to follow another bus over one of those retractable bollards, failed) dislocated my shoulder, well and truly knackered me. Ended my MTBing career, weeks off work and school. I got half that amount.

So is this definately the op's fault in the eyes kf the law? Surely if this was a car or another bike that hit him it wouldn't be as they've "pulled out" into him?

There is an independent witness who believes that the OP was at fault 2. Courts tend to find in favour of pedestrians over vehicles 3. Courts tend to find in favour of children over adults. The OP has nothing going for him in this instance. Point 1 is key here, unless you think that independent witness accounts should be ignored from now on.

On a related note, a bus driver I know (ahem) once was pulling into a bus stop, and saw someone clambering onto the roof of the stop ready to try "bus surfing" - so at the last moment carried on another 40 ft, just in time to see the promising footballer plummet to earth. Satisfying.

Satisfying. Seems a waste, I'd let him get on and give him the ride of his life. "bus surfing" = "natural selection"

I'm not saying they should be ignored and i was just asling a question, the witness' opinion should be ignored as she isn't an expert but if she describes it as the op then surely that would go in his favour regardless of her opinion although i doubt she'd describe it as he does. Would you consider him to be at fault from what he's described although i understand if it came to a claim it would be unlikely to go well for him. (note i don't ride a bike i'm currently part way through my DAS and I don't claim to know for sure who is to blame hence why i was asking)

(note i don't ride a bike i'm currently part way through my DAS and I don't claim to know for sure who is to blame hence why i was asking) Not sure I understand your first point, on the one hand you're saying they shouldn't be ignored, then immediately say they should be ignored.  Independent witnesses are vital in accident scenarios. They have no axe to grind, or financial interest so are more likely to give a reasonable account of what actually happened (of course they can get it completely wrong sometimes). My take on this would be if there were a claim for it to be 100% the OPs fault, purely as he's got an opposing witness and it's a child. If it were an adult, then he might get a 70/30, as adults should know better. Court's do like to find for claimants, especially if they are pedestrians and even more so if they are children. All three go against the OP here. The outcome would be identical if the OP was in a car or a bus driver, or an HGV driver, rules don't differ much, if at all, depending on the vehicle.

Have I got this right, if I cross the road and walk into the side of a car/bike it would be considered their fault and I can claim for my injuries? Or is it just because he was filtering only I am struggling to understand how if I was stupid enough to get myself run over I could blame someone else?
