The Age has confirmed that Meuleman,now 24,has engaged lawyer George Defteros,but Defteros said it was still “early days”.
He was waiting on documentation from previous solicitors and other information before any potential claim could progress,he said.
When asked when the family approached him,Defteros said that information was privileged.
Andrews’ wife Catherine was driving a taxpayer-funded 4WD when the then 15-year-old cyclist was hit,and the then opposition leader was in the car,along with their three children.
Meuleman told News Corp he was unable to speak to officers who visited his house after he was discharged from the Royal Children’s Hospital.
“They did not come back at any time thereafter to get a statement from me,” he told theHerald Sun.
