Unhappy Little brother

.

It's a wierd world. Just as everything seems to be running smoothly..

My little brother was runover on his way to work yesterday morning.

Broken wrist, shattered right hip, shattered right side of his rib cage, smashed lower spine, punctured lung

In London they have a Hire'a'Cycle scheme for London commuters. He was riding one of these to work when hit by a London Bus.

Thankfully breathing a bit better today

Stay Safe People

Hit by a London bus = Big money later. I am sorry to hear of the accident, but when he gets better, he'll be rich!

I kinda think it's only in the US where you can sue somebody for personal injury and make out like a bandit. Not saying anything about pain and suffering, you can't really put a number on that, but I think in that situation the person would literally only get their medical bills taken care of by the guilty party.
