Whose at fault?

[Gearoil]

Firstly, its an accident. Nobody want it to happen.

 

I was a biker. Biker need to know all the safety hazzels, as riding can be dangerous if you are not aware of your surrounding. In this case, he should not squeeze in between 2 cars, he should already know what kind of risk for such an action, moreover, he still open his leg wide wide. I'm not saying Serve him Right, but he really need to learn about safety, before something more terrible happen to him.

 

Talk about controlling the outcome - I would think that it is the biker who can control the outcome for such incident.

 

Ahh..there is some hope for you unlike Mr Hiphiphoray and many others, who just shoots out that the biker is entirely at fault.

 

Are a a human who can understand, why some ppl can't be better ppl or learn all the aspects of safety or essential aspects of it even before riding or driving on the roads?

 

Of course there are many ppl who heck care what they do or say that would hurt themselve or cause hurt to others.

 

Many would even go to religious services vowing to become better humans but coming out none the better or even worse.

 

Some in their own understanding, come to realise that being thoughtful and kind goes a long way and really make their journey thru life happier and easier.

 

But if you can make that little difference by allowing them that little leeway for being what they are,you would have made that tremendous difference....especially for an issue like this.

 

It is the FINAL outcome that I was referring to ..not any outcome.

 

And that is really what matters, at the end of the day.

 

And that is how humans can become better people.

I used to ride bike. I can say its almost impossible for u to have run over his foot. Unless he is VERY tall, when bike is stationery, for the leg to reach the ground have to be quite straight. For u to have rolled over his leg, ur wing mirror sure hit his handlebar already. And he would have had to be very close to ur car until almost touching your car (which would have alerted u). Try to see if got any fren with bike and u simulate see how close before u can roll over his foot and u'll know wat i mean.

 

Should be scam. Offer him $50 and tell him f*** off. If his leg really broken/fractured then he wouldn't have been able to continue riding dat day.

 

In anycase, he is NOT suppose to stradle between 2 cars in the first place, he is supposed to line up behind u.

Hi, appreciated all the comments/inputs/experience shared by all the bros!

 

By the way,I post this is not meant to point finger but just want to understand whether the driver or the m/cyclist will likely be faulted if insurance company or TP came into the picture. Seems that it will still go down to both of them..haiz.. So is a lose-lose situation.

 

Tks again for all the comments!

 

ps: I am not the driver but is someone I know.

Hi guys, based on the below senario, wondering whose at fault and what is the next course of actions?

 

Car A stopped on the extreme left lane before a red light (1st vehicle). Then came Car B stopped on the right side of Car A and other cars stopped behind both cars too. Followed by one m/cyclist squeezed in-between Car A and Car B and stopped before the traffic light. Upon traffic light turned green, Car A moved off 1st in straight line but accidentally ran over the left foot of the m/cyclist (maybe the m/cyclist opened his leg too wide??). M/cyclist claimed painful and out of good faith, driver of Car A agreed to pay for his medical examination, but the m/cyclist asked for $200-$300 as medical fees instead. The driver disagreed and will pay based on the medical receipt.

 

Afterwhich, the m/cyclist informed he went for medical checkup for 2 times and cost ard $60. However, he claimed that he need to go for review again as well as X-ray. Now, should the driver of Car A accede to his further claims on medical expenses? If he keeps going to see doctor, the bills can chalk up real high. Or could it be a scam? On the very 1st visit, doctor should have conducted X-ray instantly if the injury tends to be serious and why wait till several visits only?

 

What you guys think?

 

 

i know abit extreme.... confirm motorcyclist is beside car A ? proof? have a camera infront show there's no obstruction (no motorcyclist)... ??

ur words against his words.. somemore involved injuries...

 

if u have proof, then F the motorcyclist.... lol

 

 

[HARDGAYHOOOO]

I suppose the driver isnt to blame as mentioned, car A mainly moved forward and accidentally ran over the motorcyclist leg. No issues to it ...dun worry
