Cyclist who knocked over woman on phone must pay up to £100,000
Man claims case, in which both were found equally to blame, may set alarming precedent
A cyclist who knocked over a woman who was looking at her mobile phone while crossing a road has been ordered to pay about £100,000 in compensation and costs in a case he claims could set an alarming precedent.
Both the cyclist, Robert Hazeldean, a garden designer, and the pedestrian, Gemma Brushett, who works in finance, were left unconscious after the rush-hour collision in July 2015.
