Boy who was in car hit by stolen vehicle involved in high-speed garda chase settles case for €25k

A garda squad car was chasing a suspected stolen vehicle the wrong way around a roundabout when the speeding car ahead of them crashed into the family vehicle of Amanda Cash, injuring her nine-year-old son Leo, the Circuit Civil Court has been told.

Barrister Martin Dully, counsel for Leo who sued the Motor Insurers’ Bureau of Ireland through his mother, said that while Leo had suffered very minor physical injuries the psychological effect on him of the crash had been much more significant.
