Man involved in number of previous accidents loses damages claim for €60k

A court has heard that in two of five road traffic accidents a Dublin man was involved in, the roof had to be cut off the car following alleged minor impacts in order to free some of the injured.

Judge John O’Connor told 33-year-old Edward Stokes in the Circuit Civil Court today that he had failed to prove his €60,000 damages claim for personal injuries he allegedly suffered in a rear-ending accident three years ago.
