To claim against this man?

[YoureAQuizardHarry]

😩😭 Christmas Eve we were driving to mums and we stopped to get a McDonald’s Husband was inside ordering, I let both dogs out for a pee and as I walking in the car park someone reversed out of a space at speed so I jumped onto the grass slipped and landed with my left leg underneath me and I was sat on my knee, it definitely dislocated and I felt a snapping, it’s so tight and swollen.

It's got stiffer and stiffer over the 3 days, I can't put my foot on the floor fully as my calc is too tight, my back and upper side hurts because I'm walking like a weirdo.. everything hurts!

I should have gone to A&E but I really didn't want to, however now I regret it! I shouted at him from the floor covered in mud and god knows what, and he said 'sorry I thought it was in drive not reverse'

Is it his insurance or mine I claim on? Because I am hurt.

Also.. what the hell do I do with this leg? It's fucking useless! I can't bend it, I can't put my full weight on it, I can't straighten it fully, it's huge, I have tingly sensations on the opposite side to the swelling all the way down to my ankle, I have to walk upstairs with it kind of off the side and when I'm up and walking through the pain if I move in a funny way or try remotely to do anything exciting like a small bit of pivoting it feels like it's going to give way so I nearly fall over and jerk wildly grabbing at furniture.

It took me over an hour on Christmas Eve to get off the floor

In ops defence you dont have to hit someone for your injury to be your fall.

The police wouldnt really be interested in woman falls in car park. Unless he admitted to reckless driving.

It's more likely the driver called the police, if he did, to preempt the OP.

Your injury to be their fault

Compensation culture is disgusting. If you have a genuine dislocation which sound unlikely it won’t get better on its own.

I think you might be able to claim for all sorts of things (emotional stress, loss of earnings, private medical appointments, prescriptions etc) if you can prove that you had to jump onto the verge because of this drivers poor handling of his car

However the fact that you didn't and haven't gone to the doctor/A&E indicates that you're not very badly injured and imo would detract significantly from any claim

Oh dear OP, what a dreadful few months you are having, just seen the thread about your cancer diagnosis I hope your treatment is going well, and your knee feels much better soon

Compensation culture is disgusting.

How about you try reading the whole thread. Or maybe just the OP's updates.

the fact that you didn't and haven't gone to the doctor/A&E indicates that you're not very badly injured

She did.
She is.

🤦🏻‍♀️

He didn't actually hit you so I don't see how you can claim really.

Really? Even though you've read the thread where it is explained quite clearly that a car doesn't have to hit you?
