Knocked down by a cyclist

[mp389]

Hello all,
My husband got hit by a bike on a pavements while he was walking out of Tesco Express about three weeks ago. This caused his arm to be relocated with a fracture in his shoulder. Since then, he has pain and he couldn't work (he's self-employed). The incident has been recorded by the police. Anyone's here aware of similar incident, would you think we could claim any compensation? Please advise, thanks, Maria

"My friend was hit by a cyclist and was told there was no recourse for damages as cyclists don't hold insurance."

Erm... not having insurance does not mean that "you cannot be sued". it means that, if you get sued and found guilty, any fine or compensation has to be paid from your own pocket, in many cases meaning you will lose your assets and/or go into debt to pay.

It does mean that a no win no fee solicitor won't act for you though, so you'd have to do it yourself or pay privately.
