Hiiiii
Haven't posted on here for time, used to be quite active in the past, nice to come through and browse again.
I have a question I'm sure someone on here can help with. I left my very rare orange (note, not yellow) LOOK KG171 (carbon, around '92/'93) parked in South Kensington for a few nights - not something I ordinarily do, but was forced to for work reasons, yadda yadda. I come back to collect it on Saturday morning, and my ride is TOTALED. I mean, frame cracked in half, front mavic gone, rear completely squashed. I'm sure all of you can imagine that feeling!
Anyway, there's a note attached to my bike from a witness leaving me a phone number and the driver's registration - it was a lorry turning down a side street and just completely flattened it.
Does anyone know the legalities behind this? Am I able to claim any kind of compensation for this?? It just seems crazy that my bike, which is quite unusual and I've had for many years, can just be completely destroyed like this due to someone else's negligence, and I wouldn't be entitled to anything? Again, it was a lorry so must be part of a bigger company, i have a witness, the registration and i'm positive this would have been caught on CCTV as well.
Any advice anybody on here has I'd be very grateful to hear.
Thankzzz
