€80k for woman who was scarred when sunglasses on top of her head shattered after impact

A woman who suffered scarring to her face when her car was rear-ended and pushed into a stationary vehicle in front of her has been awarded more than €80,000 by the High Court.

Lorna Bentley's sunglasses were on top of her head and when the impact happened, the airbag deployed and the glasses fell on her face causing her to suffer extensive lacerations to her face, particularly her left cheek.
