A young boy, who was knocked down by a van as he played near his home, has had a car accident injury claim settlement of 17,500 Euros approved in the Circuit Civil Court.
Warren Lavelle (6) of Tallaght, Dublin, was hit by the van on July 13 2008, when he was only three years of age. He suffered head injuries as a result of the accident and has been left with a permanent scar on his head.
The driver of the van – John Connors, also of Tallaght, Dublin – admitted liability for the accident and, at the Circuit Civil Court in Dublin, Judge Jacqueline Linnane heard that the case was before her to approve the agreed settlement.
After noting that the scar was still visible, Judge Linnane approved the car accident injury claim settlement of 17,500 Euros.
