when driveing into my street ,iwas just jussed missed by 2 kids on a bike driving on the wrong side of the road, its my car which will be damaged.also if a youth runs out maybe drunk, i bang into him, he's ok but leaves my car with a large repair bill. how do i stand legally. at the moment i'm fed up of youths just running out or wearing walkmans and not concentrating on the traffic, i dont wish to bump into anybody,but if i do, all i'll get is abusive language from them, and a garage bill, in the city center at a crossing on green in my favour a mother and young child just walk across, i braked quickly as i dont speed, they just turned around with unberleaveable abuse, and they where at fault. they where crosing as the red man was on. its getting to be all the time, and youths who walk on the road and will not move out of the way. to them its a laugh.

In theory if your car is damaged by a cyclist or a pedestrian then you can claim for the damage (a few months ago there was a case where a motorcyclist successfully claimed from the estate of someoen who had been killed by walking in front of him - just because the person was killed did not affect his liability (the cyclist was driving at a safe speed as well).)
There was a move to make any injury suffered by a cyclist BY DEFINITION the motorist's fault but that as far as I am aware has been dropped.
In practice - are you going to stand up in front of a dozen youths and ask for their details?????

So in case you're able to do them greater fee-effective than between the estimates your mom gets, i'm particular you're able to do it. you would be saving your mom some money. however the guy who hit you is liable for the damages.
