EX-England star Nicky Butt faces paying thousands in compensation for breaking a man’s leg in a bike crash.
The Manchester United ace, 50, is being sued by motorcyclist Adam Fielding.
Butt, in his Range Rover, pulled out at a junction in front of Mr Fielding’s Honda in Burnley in October 2022.
He admitted causing serious injury by dangerous driving last year and got a year’s road ban from Blackburn JPs.
He now faces a separate civil suit.
Mr Fielding, 29, previously told how he had suffered almost two years of constant pain.
He spent two weeks in hospital with a broken left leg and needed surgery to insert rods.
The accident meant he lost his physically demanding job, his social life and changed his relationship as his girlfriend became his carer.
Mr Fielding, who worked for Screwfix, is represented by personal injury firm Minster Law.
It is not clear how much Butt may have to pay.
He has apologised and says he thinks about the crash daily.
High Court papers seen by The Sun show the two sides disagree on the facts of the case.
Crash victims generally have three years to make a civil claim, so Mr Fielding has filed weeks before the deadline.
A judge must make a number of rulings before a trial on whether Butt is liable to pay damages.
If Mr Butt loses the case, it is thought his insurance firm will pay Mr Fielding, as is common in crash lawsuits.
His rep was asked to comment.

Hahaha what would not? Victims getting compensation? Hahaha I've been to Nigeria. The drivers are wild there. You use your hooters all the time. Not as caution but as signal. You're roads are scary. Man, it's wild

Why and what is this 3 year waiting period....to claim. Why not immediate or maybe 6 months to a year. It looks like the law gives crash victims time to increase their source of income.

typical insurance, Butt said he was guilty, but insurance won't pay out. quick enough to get the subscriptions but hate paying out.
