Judge praises personal trainer for posting workout videos after suffering hit-and-run injuries

Kris Flynn said "honesty is the best policy" as he revealed his GP said his workouts "most likely prevented me getting injured worse in the incident".

Kris Flynn was awarded €18,500 in general damages for the back, neck and shoulder injuries sustained and an additional €1,720 for medical and physio expenses.

A judge has praised a personal fitness trainer for posting workout videos of himself on Facebook and Instagram shortly after sustaining injuries when a taxi driver drove at him.

At Ennis Circuit Court, Judge Brian O’Callaghan stated that it is to Kris Flynn’s credit and not to his debit that he was out promoting himself online so soon after a traffic incident in the Aldi car park in Ennis on June 11, 2017.
