No comment really, beyond the fact that I wonder how their courts
would cope if every case of a pedestrian being injured when hit by a
car resulted in a three year court case.

It pretty much does. Insurance companies will delay paying until the
very last possible moment. I think it took me over two years to get
the first part of compensation (for the trashed bike) when I had my
worst crash, and the final settlement came only after visits to
specialists in London and all sorts of other crap.
