Because the father of the child who was hit posted the video of the incident on the internet, he must compensate the cyclist. It is not yet clear how much the compensation will be.
The scene in the Hohe Venn Nature Park in the Eifel caused a shitstorm on social networks in the winter of 2020. A cyclist hit a girl (5) from behind. The child’s father distributed the video on the Internet and reported the cyclist. A court ruled that the recreational athlete hit the girl ‘out of carelessness’ – without intending to harm her. He was found guilty without punishment.
Privacy violated due to video
The cyclist then sued the child’s father for publishing the video. It violated his privacy and damaged his reputation. The court saw it that way and agreed with the 63-year-old.
Cyclist demands 4500 euros
The only thing that remains to be clarified now is how much compensation the man will receive. The cyclist had previously demanded an amount of 4,500 euros, which approximately corresponds to the value of his bicycle. Whether he will actually get that much remains to be seen.
