The cyclist, who suffered a broken nose, was initially treated at the scene by the ambulance driver.
That’s a great business model. Create the demand for your supply yourself. Wtf, this system is so fucked.
Create demand
Provide supply

This makes perfect sense. The city will have insurance for accidents. They bill him, he sues, the city refers it to their insurer and the insurance pays the suit and costs.
It only sounds ridiculous on the surface.
Imo having lawsuits as a normal expected step in the healthcare system is ridiculous in depth, not just on the surface.
The victim might get compensated in the end, but having to go through lawsuits is just stupid.
If part of the process is someone suing, I think it is ridiculous.

Sounds reasonable. Blind spot makes it easy to run over cyclists when doing a right turn. “Attention, Angles morts”.
And it sounds reasonable each party writes a bill. Can be offset in court.
And btw an ambulance ride in Germany is like 500€ to 1000€. For once something that’s not 10x as expensive as in other parts of the world.
