Girl, 10, awarded nearly €20k for injuries sustained in 2015 accident
A Circuit Civil Court judge has approved a settlement offer of more than €19,500 to a then-five-year-old Co Wicklow girl who was injured in a hit and run accident in 2015.
In a remote hearing, barrister Karen Nolan, who appeared with solicitor Liam Moloney for the girl, now 10, told the court the driver of a stolen car had fled the scene after his uninsured vehicle had rear-ended the family car of the girl's mother Aoifanna Phibbs.
