Has anyone else experienced this?

Question

I was run over on the PAVEMENT by a car trying to get out of the way of an Emergency Vehicle - I didn't get the number plate as I was too busy scrambling up the wall of a building to stay alive.

Answer 1

Whilst I'm not a great fan of suing the emergency services, if you're looking for compensation, you have may just a claim against them.

If you're in the UK, part of a definition of an RTA is 'Owing to the presence of a vehicle on a road, an accident occurs'

As the accident happened due to the presence of the emergency vehicle, you might want to speak to a solicitor

Answer 2

if you didn't get hurt , get over it..what else are you going to do except raise your blood pressure?

Answer 3

Sue the president.

Answer 4

If you can't id the car there isn't much you can do but hope to see them again so you can curse them out.  If you aren't hurt, be thankful that it wasn't worse.

Answer 5

Ha ha, sorry, i know i shouldn't laugh but that is funny! :-)

No but i got hit by a speeding police man once! I told that tosser straight!

Answer 6

No but a guy I was High School with came over a hill and ran over a state trooper standing beside car he had pulled over. The trooper was instantly killed and the guy got life in prison. No one has seen or heard from him since.

Answer 7

Nope, sorry.

Answer 8

lets see now you were run over on the pavement and yet you were scrambling up the side of a building this is quite a feat . are you sure this is a serious question.

Answer 9

im not sure but i have gotten hit by a car before

Answer 10

Sure, this happens once a week to me...

Answer 11

I was rollerblading in my neighborhood and a City truck coming slowly around the corner drifted into my path. I was hit softly and went over the hood into the grass. The elderly worker freaked out naturally. I imagine he could see a lawsuit against the City and his retirement down the drain. I wasn't hurt at all and ended up comforting him, telling him not to worry. I could have had major bucks but I'm not that kind of person. If I was seriously hurt, maybe it would have been different.

In your case, the car was at fault for not paying attention in time. I bet you felt like Spiderman crawling up that building. Hope you're ok.

Answer 12

nasty....i would have got the biggest,heavest thing within reach and done his window in....

Answer 13

Sorry to hear that, I got hit by a car a few months ago but luckily it just clipped my hand and didn`t do any damage. Again like you he was going to fast for me to get a number so all I could do was shout abuse at him, I knew he was aware of what he`d done as he was looking in his mirror before he sped off round the corner..............

Answer 14

Its not funny and you should ask around if anybody witnessed this and go after the driver but in the meantime you should file a police report so that this is on file, good luck.

Answer 15

It's never happened to me but I would advise that you maybe seek advice from police.

Answer 16

OMG!!! have you checked to see if there are cctv cameras down this road?? im sure this would help you ALOT if there were camers down there
