Could anyone advise on where I stand with this following issue.
My son was out on a bike ride with some of his mates. They stopped and was stationary but the boy behind him wasn’t looking ahead and crashed into him.
He was lightly injured but it caused extensive damage to his bike that he worked to pay for.
To fix it, it’s going to cost £150.
The boy was very apologetic and agreed he would pay for the cost.
A few days have passed and he now says his mum would not pay as she has no money.
I txt her and she basically said she has no money but also doesn’t see why she should always pay for her son’s damages when no one pays for her.
I sympathised with her and offered to do a payment plan but no response.
She is a single mother and I know things are tough at the minute for everyone but when i looked on her social media page. She’s been on 2 separate holidays abroad in the last 4 months which doesn’t prove she is well off but my sympathy has slightly deflated.
Where do i stand in terms of trying to claim the cost?
Thank you
