The Edinburgh (Scotland) News writes about a bicyclist who won a lawsuit from the local bus company after the judge said he didn't fake his fall.
George Johnston, 63, claimed that he was hit by the bus in 2004 while bicycling home through Oxgangs. The bus driver disagreed calling the fall staged and “a comedy act … a pathetic stumble … the most pathetic fall you would imagine.”
Apparently the judge considered the driver's defense something suitable for a comedy act, and awarded Johnston 61,600 pounds, about $126,000. Johnston will use it to replace his artificial hip, which was damaged in the wreck.
