Bah.

Got an email from my solictor today, she says the other side have applied to have the judgement against them 'set aside' - meaning that the full court case to settle liability still has to go ahead before we can settle the issue of compensation. So that's a pain in the arse.

I remain fairly confident about the whole thing - I was doing nothing wrong when the guy drove his car into my path, and I think that should be fairly obvious from the testimony describing the accident circumstances - but it would have been nice to have had it settled and done with. Not because I'm worried about how the court case will go, but because I'm pissed off that they have the cheek to claim and continue claiming that I could be partially responsible for his mistake - which, let us not forget, could have bloody killed me. Grrr.

This seems to be the usual case with motorcycle accidents involving cars. Person is completely at fault and usually hurts the motorcycle and rider pretty badly, but they refuse to take responsibility. And then they think they have the right to get mad when they lose the court cases and have to pay.

They get what they fucking deserve. How does the loss of their money compare to you almost losing your life? Fuck'em
