Message: [QUOTE="Pablo, post: 3685380, member: 9118"] Ezra will have absolutely no involvement either financially or legally in any civil case arising from this accident. Any person injured as a result of this motor vehicle accident or any other motor vehicle accident in Queensland is entitled to lodge a claim with the CTP insurer of the at fault vehicle which we assume is the vehicle driven by Ezra. The insurer of that vehicle assumes the role of defendant in legal proceedings. Once liability is admitted by that insurer, which is likely in this case, the insurer's role then is to firstly fund the rehabilitation costs of injured claimants and once this has occurred the quantum of damages (compensation amounts) are negotiated between the injured parties' solicitors and the insurer. Significantly less than 1% of these claims go to court but even if any claims from this accident did proceed to court, Ezra's involvement in any future proceedings is already complete. He will not be liable for one cent of the compensation if there is any. In very rare circumstances an insurer may seek to recover some of the damages awarded in cases where criminal behaviour contributed to the accident. Based on the very minor charges laid, the chances of that happening are also practically zero. Ezra has NOT been charged with DUI or dangerous driving. From my observation of things, and the resultant police action, this was a low speed accident, caused by Ezra failing to pay due care and attention. The incidental finding of a drug in his system seems to have been deemed insignificant enough that it has had no bearing whatsoever on Ezra's ability to control the vehicle. Otherwise he would have been charged with a more serious offence relating to DUI. When media speculation gets in the way of facts, people start calling for 12 month bans and sackings which is beyond ridiculous. Hopefully the NRL can see past the distortion. I suspect the Broncos have already done this which is good to see. [/QUOTE]
