I hit a kid on a bike with my cybertruck. It happened in Belgium. The kid broke his legs but is okay aside from that. What legal trouble am I in? The kid wasnot allowed to bike there.
Hi ****,
Here are some potential legal implications you might face in Belgium:
- **Criminal Liability**: You could be charged with causing unintentional injuries, even if the child wasn't supposed to be biking there.
- **Civil Liability**: You might be responsible for medical costs and damages.
- **Insurance**: Your insurance may cover some of these costs, but it depends on your policy.
