2014-01-06 - Rider Down, Russel Square

It's ridiculous. The guy that hit me and fled was fined over £600 and got 6 points and I wasn't really injured - just some bark off - shoulda done the prick for killing my saddle though.

I expect fleeing the scene pushed the fine and points up. This driver stopped.

So, has the bus company offered anything in the way of compensation?
The bus company being P&J Ellis http://www.pjellis.co.uk

No contact from the coach company but why would they, this is now a matter between insurers and lawyers.

Has the management of P & J Ellis issued a statement about the incident?

No, but again way would they? I'm guessing an admission of guilt/sorrow wouldn't be advised my insurers/lawyers.

Should this be appealed? Srsly? Call another lawyer!

No point appealing, it was a case brought by the police. I expect the driver had a sob story about how driving is his job blah blah blah. Unless the judge cycled or knows a cyclist who has been injured, they just heard about a traffic violation and a girls foot getting run over. I doubt they had any info on the extent of her injures, as far as I know the police never asked for further medical details after the accident.
