Who is liable in the event of an accident?

Questioner

My child was recently hit by a motorist on his scooter who ignored the shark teeth warnings that applied to him. My child should have had the right of way. Now the motorist's insurance company is claiming that my child should not have been riding on the cycle path, which means that my child would be liable. The scooter suffered considerable damage, but so did my child. What is more important in this case? Ignoring the shark teeth or riding a scooter on a cycle path?

It is advisable to defend yourself against the insurer's claims, possibly with the help of a lawyer. Feel free to contact us to discuss your case further. Gr, Mr. Mr. S. Leito FerLei Legal 06-49175526
