Hi,
It was teeming down with rain and my 15 year old grandson was cycling. He thought he rd a car behind and looked back. Turning round he braked hard as there was a stationary car in front of him. He went head first through the rear screen, gashing his arm in the process. The rear tail light was also broken.
He suffered a large gash to his forearm, which on visiting a&e, had to return 2 days later to have glass and chipped bone removed under general anaesthetic. A plastic surgeon had to sew the arm up.
All the above notwithstanding, can he made to pay for the damage as a minor.
