Breaking News from The Times Newspaper highlights the case of Bethany Probert, who was almost killed by a reckless driver speeding along a country lane at more than 50 miles an hour. Bethany was innocently walking home from her riding school.
Churchill Insurance shows the mean view of corporate capability as they seek to challenge their liability by suggesting that the 13 year old is still a child, and therefore should have worn high visibility clothing.
RJW Slater & Gordon, Bethany’s solicitors, said: “This is the first case on the question of an accident victim’s culpability for walking on the road at night for more than 20 years and the first case of a child’s culpability.” (Source: The Times newspaper, February 5th 2013)
Make no mistake - this may effect every person in the UK and require them to wear high visibility clothing at all times, and is a fundimental breach of their European Human Rights.
