This is the UK, there aren't any medical bills. He should and likely will be made to lay for loss of earnings and any additional support he might need.

    Are you sure? French social security makes any responsible third party pay for everything, and insurance doesn't usually cover crimes.

    Most people don't have any insurance to cover this precisely because the NHS will always pick up the bill. I've never heard of any criminal getting a bill for medical charges they've caused. Here in Germany, its all personal insurance - albeit strictly regulated. Maybe that's how it works in France?

    Y'all aren't required to carry liability insurance to drive? I know in the US it's because of costs to the victim, but hell, the NHS deserves to take the cost of treatment from people who hurt others
