Personal injury claim against a child - cycling accident
My son was involved in a cycling accident where he and another cyclist collided. My son had a serious head/face injury along with multiple cuts and bruises on his body and a lasting injury to his shoulder. The other cyclist (an adult) had a broken finger and damage to his bicycle (which he complained about non stop even while I was attending to my unconscious son!!).
The accident was in April and I have just received a letter from a solicitor regarding a claim under the Pre Action Protocol for Low Value Personal Injury (Employers Liability and Public Liability) CLaim. This is requesting insurance details.
I have some questions regarding this and hope someone can help?
1. My Son is 14 and not insured, how can i provide details?
2. The letter is unexpected as I did give my details expecting communication from the man involved (just not a letter from a solicitor!).
3. The Police were not called to the accident although the hospital staff and paramedics said they should have been called at the time as it was quite serious injuries to my son).
4. What do I do now?
Thanks in advance
Dave
