A four year old child who cannot be driven by the place in which she was involved in an accident has been offered €8,000 of a settlement.
The child, who was two years old at the time, appeared at Letterkenny Circuit Court as part of a personal injury claim.
The accident happened in Co Donegal when the child was a restrained back seat passenger in a car in August 2013 when it was struck by another vehicle.
In the aftermath of the accident, the court was told the child suffered a cut lip and was very anxious and was crying.
The child’s parents also had to drive a different route to their montessori school as the child became very anxious going past the scene of the accident.
Judge John O’Hagan said he agreed that the offer of approximately €8,000 was not enough and said he was recommending something in the order of €10,000 of the child and said he was not approving of the offer.
