My husband was hit by a car on Hagley Park Road near to Three Miles, Kingston 11, on May 14. He was knocked unconscious and suffered injuries which were treated at the Kingston Public Hospital. His lawyer told him that he was entitled to compensation. However, the insurers of the car refused to pay because "he was wrong to cross the road".
