urgent help pls someone want to sue my friend
-
let say my friend already dropped passenger inside carpark, then on the way out, he saw this big vehicle park one side take up a lot of space, so he slowed down and still tried to keep safe distance away. but suddenly a little girl run out full speed from the front of that big vehicle into my friend's headlights. lucky my friend was driving very slowly and brake hard. but just nice the girl family and friends are all standing nearby, maybe wave goodbyes, then some of them scream. the father came over and was very angry. he scold my friend very loudly and even demand take down license and plate, say he is going to take his daughter to hospital for checkup just in case because his daughter is very shock and then definitely going to complain authority, the company and also sue him. that time was quite late, the place was dark almost no light and my friend is empty no passenger and the only witness he think is all the girl's family and friends there. how this kind of case??

CP got cctv?
-
its ordinary hdb open air carpark i dont think so. or even have, maybe only looking at enter/exit, may not be pointing at that part sorry i forgot say the big vehcile backside was facing my friend, what happen in the front of it cannot see at all. my friend thinks the girl is trying to board the passenger seat of that big vehicle thats why she come out to its left side. my friend thinks even those witnesses might not see the girl run out herself first, only saw she run into headlights or even later after my friend brake stop
-
got take pix of how the vehicles were positioned and the damage done to the headlights?
-
but think my friend too shock. and how little girl can do to damage headlight
-
u said she run and bang into the headlights and there is nuttin?
either she is not human
or the "bang" is merely a nudge, so there is no case.
and in court, family members' statements are not objective enough to be considered
so, there is no proof on both sides?
ur fren (or isit u, huh) can sleep well tonite

since your friend has taken steps to avoid accident by slowing down, your friend will be alright if he find a good lawyer.
It's actually the girl's fault, anyhow run la, see la, now gotr problem already. -
all of them family members, relatives, friends, of course will side one another. police will not consider them as independent witness since they are obviously siding with the girl.
if you did nothing wrong and took due care when driving, you should explain to the police and dont get bullied by the girl's family.
anyway she hardly got hurt and she has probably learnt her lesson if what you said happened is correct.

Ask your friend also go and lodge an incident report on this matter for record purpose. have the drawing draw out of the parking vehicle best with the vehicle, maybe the vehicle belong to the girl family who had park there.
incidate the spped he is going . because this can be consider an accident and you did not mentioned about outcome of the girl injuries.
it could be complicated but best to do the report as well as also to the taxi company he drove for.
case like this could be simple or complicated. so ask your friend to safe guard himself first. need help call me

In the event of personal injury during an accident, the police must be called to the scene of accident and the involved vehicle must not be moved.
So did you or your friend informed the police at the scene of the accident ?

What ? Car hit the girl ? And damaged headlights ? Not simple case ..... inform your friend to report to taxi company for them to take note of such event that had happened . If that girl's want to pursue , at least u have done your part in reporting . -
report police and taxi coy. Then let the coy handle. Nothing will happen. Nobody die.

Pls la nothing will happens...no injury nothing.....><"

Most people will threaten legal action, just for show only. Also they will do to those whom the see as below them. Like TDs, cleaners, security guards, waiters, etc.
Aktion only.

Taking Good Money after Bad Money..... this is a common logic everyone know.
As long your friends did not further provoke, challenge the family, usually people will not go against that logic.
As long we are driving,esp. a Taxi, always got to be alert. Acciedent will still occur, show care and concern the moment it happen, it will reduce testify against you.
An immediate reaction of blaming, self defencing will lead to a challenge, provoking the others.
This matter had happened, a lawer would be the better person to help, not Taxi Driver. Taxi Driver can only ferry your friend to the lawer office.

strange... a girl run into the head-lights.... most of us would shun or freeze when we see head-lights...

I don't think there is any issues to this. Just angry words from doting parents and relavtive that all.
First it is a clear case that the little girl dash out of the road.
Next you think your friend will be even allow to leave that place if they think the little girl is in anyway hurt. They would have call the police and ask your friend for IC already.It is clearly that the worst they will do is to write in to complain .
