I would appreciate if brothers here can give some advice... Recently my father in his 60s was knocked down by a motocycle along a pedestrian crossing. Initially my father saw that it was red light for pedestrians but seeing that there is no vehicle in sight, he began crossing the road using the pedestrian crossing. After halfway across the road, a motorbike in high speed suddenly appeared and sped towards my father. My aged father then tried to hurried forward to finish the crossing so as to stay clear of the road for the bike. However, the bike never even brake and tried to manueveur in such a way that he could speed past infront of my father. In the end, the motorbike hit my father, causing open leg fracture (can see bone) and contusion at the forehead, with black eye and multiple lacerations at the limbs. When the motorcyclist was later asked why he never braked, his reply was if he braked, then he would be the one being thrown off the bike and get injured, so he could only speed along. I dun know what this young motorcyclist in his early 20s was thinking.. maybe he was trying to scare the old man by speeding past by near to him but ended up in an accident? the question is: Other than a routine police report, what should I do with this reckless motorcyclist? Should I sue him? and for what benefits? Note: In term of operation and medical services fees, they are fully paid by a hospitalisation plan (with rider to offset deductibles and co-insurance). So, I can't sue him for any medical bills compensation.
