Daughter's broken leg

[Mrsblackforrestgateaux]

Strap in this is a long on....

So 2 weeks ago my DD (11) and DS(8) we're riding their bikes in our close. There was a parked car belonging to one of the houses parked half on the pavement half on the road. My daughter tried to go around the parked car and clipped a lamppost with her handlebars causing her to fall off her bike breaking her leg.

She has a really bad spiral fracture of her tibia and will be in a cast for at least 14 weeks with lots of appointments and physio to follow. The cadt is currently a full leg cast. We have also had to cancel a planned holiday to Disney in May as there is no way we can go.

Would we be able to claim anything from the car owner for parking on the pavement and obstructing the pavement?

Sorry for long post.

This is a nasty comment. Pavements are routinely obstructed by cars parked all over the shop, and it can be difficult to navigate them. Your response suggests that you park like a selfish arse and can't cope with any implied criticism.

No. Regardless of how inconsiderate a Parker they were, the reasonable expectation is that your daughter should be able to avoid large stationery objects plus she technically shouldn’t have been cycling on pavement either.
I get it’s disappointing though.
