€12k for whiplash injuries in collision
Patrick Nedum told the court that, on September 27, 2011, he was stopped at traffic lights on Eden Quay, Dublin, during rush hour when Ms Canavan rear-ended the car behind him, driven by Bernie Keenan, which then bumped into his car.
Mr Nedum, of Sherrad St, Dublin, claimed the impact was a “big bang” which pushed his car boot in. He said he developed neck pain the next day. He told his barrister, Robert Fitzpatrick, that he suffered neck pain for a year and had difficulty sleeping, lifting, and carrying. The court heard he had needed to take anti-inflammatories and painkillers.
