'My foot was dangling loose': How a jogger injured in an e-bike crash sued in court

from In The News

Have you ever wondered what your recourse would be if you were hit by someone riding an e-bike? 48 year-old Karl Leonard assumed Gardaí would prosecute the man who left him with a catastrophic leg injury, after he was knocked down in Swords last year. But after officers failed to pursue the case, Leonard took the rider to the criminal courts as a private citizen - and won. This episode contains graphic details of injury and surgery which some listeners may find distressing.Karl's story originally featured in this Irish Times article by legal affairs correspondent Mary Carolan. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
