"A cyclist who knocked a woman unconscious after colliding with her as she stepped off a bus has been cleared of all responsibility for the accident or having caused her serious injuries. Judge James O'Donohoe, who last week branded cyclists in Dublin as "a nightmare," decided today that Dublin Bus, whose driver allowed the woman alight at an undesignated stop, was fully liable for the accident that happened in 2021."
"Judge James O'Donohoe found Dublin Bus liable for the accident that happened in 2021 A cyclist who knocked a woman unconscious after colliding with her as she stepped off a bus has been cleared of all responsibility for the accident or having caused her serious injuries. Judge James O'Donohoe, who last week branded cyclists in Dublin as "a nightmare," decided today that Dublin Bus, whose driver allowed the woman alight at an undesignated stop, was fully liable for the accident that happened in 2021."
Dublin Bus was held fully liable for a 2021 accident after its driver permitted a passenger to alight at an undesignated stop. A cyclist collided with the woman as she stepped off the bus and knocked her unconscious. The cyclist was cleared of all responsibility for the collision and for causing her serious injuries. Judge James O'Donohoe reached the decision and noted his earlier comment branding cyclists in Dublin "a nightmare". The ruling assigns legal responsibility to Dublin Bus and not to the cyclist for the events of 2021.
