It wasn't the postie bastard... though I feel sour about that too, cos I was standing and he ran me over.
But trying to explain simple physics > cause/effect > momentum to the insurance company and Aust Post wasn't getting anywhere.
Cost me >$900 to repair the bike, and the parts came from www.chainreactioncycles.com:443/ had to go from centre lock disc brakes to bolts.
The other case was ~$60k compensation loss on my behalf... but I can't go into details cos I signed a Non-Disparagement and Disclosure agreements.
They probably spent much more fighting me, than they owed me... it was just going to go on and on... and they kept threatening me with recovering costs. And when their barrister laid into me, I knew I was out gunned.
The way barristers cross examine you is plain nasty... like
Wineman: Isn't it true you are sitting on the white bottle of wine, after consuming all of it and urinating in the glass adjacent to the red bottle of wine. You are in breach of Food Regulation 2010 Act 16B. Your honour please note the Applicant is also in breach of Public Safety Act 120A, Self Harm Act... Blah Blah.
When in reality you have no idea wtf he's yapping about, and you're forced to answer completely BS questions that throw your train of thought.
Can you ask for the questions to be put down in writing when in court? This would give you time to check out the relevant legislation and establish what is being asked? If a lawyer is asking you questions in relation to laws you don't know then its hardly just for you to give a response. You should be given time to work out a response. If the process takes longer then that is too bad.
