Case thrown out as two claim €60k over ‘little bump’ in carpark

Six people were left with neck and back injuries when they claimed to have been shaken in what was described as “a little bump” in a carpark incident.

Forensic engineer Donal Terry told a judge the physical effect of the impact would be similar to what passengers would experience in a vehicle rounding a bend or driving over a speed bump.

Liberty faced six compensation claims, possibly totalling €360,000, until Judge Jacqueline Linnane threw out two of them, stating there was some doubt the two claimants before the court had been in the vehicle.
