Petar Mitev, a 50-year-old Royal Mail driver, was struck by a 7.5-tonne lorry while on a zebra crossing, leaving him in a vegetative state. His family is suing Royal Mail for damages to cover ongoing care costs, citing health and safety breaches including unsafe depot layout and ignoring previous accidents. Mityo Mitev, Petar's brother, emphasizes the emotional toll of the accident, as he remains by Petar's side, reminiscing on his active lifestyle prior to the tragedy and their efforts to support him in the hospital.
I'll never forget the day I got a call saying Petar had been involved in an accident. I knew he was in a bad way, but nothing prepared me for seeing him in hospital. Petar was a strong and extremely active man.
Royal Mail is responsible for a number of health and safety breaches. These breaches include failing to design a safe layout for the depot that minimizes pedestrian risks.
