A young child has been awarded €15,000 after the van in which her father was the driver crashed into a road sign.
The accident happened in Co Donegal in January, 2015 when the child was a front seat passenger in the van with her father.
No other vehicle was involved in the incident.
The court heard the child suffered no physical injuries but suffered from emotional stress and was taken to a child psychologist for assessment.
Letterkenny Circuit Civil court heard today that the medical expert said the issues were mild to moderate and the child had since made a full recovery.
Judge Martin Nolan said he was happy to recommend the offer of €15,000.
