Janus Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 In some cases don`t insurance companies chase these people around? Of course if they`ve got nowt it can be difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cid Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 but they caused ten times that much damage to the company. They should be forced to pay the lot back. These 2 guys are paying more than I have seen awarded before, dont you think its a step in the right direction? ---------- Post added 04-08-2018 at 15:00 ---------- In some cases don`t insurance companies chase these people around?

Janus Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 For sure the buses will be insured, but that is not what I was referring to. I have heard of cases where insurance companies chase up the culprits to recover what they have paid out. Not the normal RTAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 (edited) These 2 guys are paying more than I have seen awarded before, dont you think its a step in the right direction? A small step, but there is still a large gulf to cross. They should hang the full cost around their stupid necks and make them spend the rest of their life paying it off. My car is insured if someone steals it, wont the buses be insured too? Yes, but as the company said the insurance premium has shot right up costing them in the long run. Perhaps part from the loss of the bus and part because it was so easy for two drunken idiots to be able to steal it in the first place. Insurance company shouldn't have to pick up the pieces though, the shouldn't have to pay for the actions of some destructive morons while they contribute just a pittance in recompense for their own actions.

Jeffrey Shaw Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Yes. Insurers have a right of subrogation. See https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/subrogation Whatever rights the injured party (P) had against the tortfeasor (D) are effectively 'sold' to the insurer (IN). IN pays-out P. P assigns to IN all rights against D. IN can enforce them, if that's worth doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike-s Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 The judge ordered them each to pay £10,000 compensation to Pulham's at £400 a month. I don't think paying £10,000 each would be possible if they had been sent to jail. The judge has set a good punishment for the pair. https://www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/news/cheltenham-news/teenagers-take-bus-nine-mile-1840086 And you REALLY expect them to pay??? :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gomgeg Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Another pitiful sentence dished out. https://trib.al/88JeKYe Another one who wants putting down before he kills somebody, no good for anything and never will be. At least it would stop him breeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
