Motorcyclist Left Paralysed To Sue Schoolgirls
Mon 19th Sep 11 - 11:35
A quadriplegic motorcyclist is taking action against two schoolgirls seeking more than £300,000 in road accident compensation after he was seriously injured when he swerved to avoid them in a horrific motorbike accident.
Mr. Porter swerved, fell from his bike and then was run over by a van, leaving him paralysed. He claims that the girls were negligent when they stepped off the kerb into moving traffic, causing him to take immediate action to avoid them.
The writ states, "...the defendants suddenly and without warning emerged from between slow moving traffic from the right and established themselves past the white centre line in the claimant's path, unable to proceed through the northbound traffic.
"The claimant immediately engaged his brakes and swerved so as to avoid striking the defendants. He missed them but instead skidded in to the path of an oncoming Ford Transit van, whereby he sustained catastrophic injuries."
