Answer 1

you need to be careful about what you said from the beginning because this guy who suddenly flipped around and is trying to sue you is an eight ball and problem is his story is not going to hold up. and he will keep changing little bits of it trying to make himself sound better don't do that stick with the truth and you have to let the guys insurance investigate this. You need to politely but firmly deny what he says both firmly and follow up that with a short letter denying what he says now. I can tell you what happens is he had time to think about it and is one of those classless A holes . Man that sucks. I hope your friend or some one at the scene called the police. The police version is going to make a difference too about what this guy said there at the scene.So tell me a crash with injuries had a police officer there.

your partner was lucky a few seconds ahead and he could have been road kill if the guy ran him over from behind.

I rode in all kinds of weather too and the one thing I hated was wet roads after a rain storm they were dangerouse as all hell. you lose the ability to stop quick which is a safety factor for a bike six days off work could have easily been six months with a broken leg.man oh man dodged a bullet there

Sorry but if he can't stop safely when the car in front stops then he is following to close, it is the riders / drivers responsibility to take road conditions into account and adjust speed and distance accordingly. The car driver will have been instructed to claim from your partner by his insurance company because they know the law.

Answer 3

If your partner went in to the back of a car, then I’m sorry to say it's his fault, and no insurance company will look at it in any different way. It's the law, if you go in to the back of someone then you haven't been obeying the highway code and driving or riding too close to the vehicle in front or simply driving without due care and attention. Been there myself.

in case you particularly prefer to end it thoroughly then the purely way is to limit motorcycles and pass those injuries to different styles of shipping. there's no trouble-free answer on your question. there'll continually be injuries regardless of if absolutely everyone crawled alongside at strolling %. and if all street consumers were thoroughly separated from others. For it really is inhabitants and street density, the united kingdom already has the bottom street death charges in the international; to shrink them extra needs careful exam of the position the worst twist of destiny spots are and to change into conscious of the justifications and remedies, yet all of that expenses a tremendous era of time and funds and nevertheless gained't completely avert injuries.

Answer 5

As a biker and a driver, if I am driving my bike or car and a child runs out into the road, I WILL stop quickly. If the vehicle behind can't stop, it is not my fault. What was I supposed to do, look in the mirror and run over the child?

Answer 6

The gentleman probably talked to his insurance about paying your partner and they told him they will not pay, that your partner was at fault on the collision, not the gentleman. Bottom line, your partner was following too close and going too fast and he lost control of his motorcycle. Your partner's insurance will cover his bike, injuries, and any damage done to the car.
