In the weeks before his terrible skiing accident, Michael Schumacher was reportedly in Spain, and while there he allegedly didn't give the right of way in a roundabout, causing an accident with the motorcycle. That motorcyclist is now suing Schumacher for damages.

Here's the story that The Mirror is reporting: Schumacher was in Spain driving a rented Audi A4. At a roundabout, he didn't cede the right of way to a motorcyclist who had it. The motorcyclist went down and broke a wrist, damaged his watch, ripped his clothing, and damaged his motorcycle. He wants compensation.

This is backed up by a police report from the incident. This will not go to trial unless insurers contest the claim and Schumacher does not have to attend the hearing.
