Taxi drivers are notorious for these types of claims (mainly whiplash)
>Judge Quinn said he could not link Mr Odedele’s evidence of having thought he had broken his neck with the evidence of hairline crack damage to the registration plate of the defendant’s car and only a crack to the bumper of his taxi.
Amazing.
American suing culture at it again.
Fuck off.
The neeeeeeck of him
Great to see costs awarded against him, but I reckon they’ll be waiting a few years to get it. Their solicitors should be penalised too, courts are clogged with these €60,000 bogus claims that anyone with a shred of decency would turn down. Parasites
>The level of severity of the collision was not consistent with Mr Odedele’s claim of a suspected broken neck at the time and his evidence of continuing back and shoulder pain
Guy shouldve just claimed ‘whiplash’ easy 10k
Accidents happen. No excuse to be a complete and utter dickface sueing for extremely exaggerated bullshit.
Ireland has always had a horrible compo culture.
This is one of the stories that always annoys me any time I remember it:
He said the defendants, Panda Play Café Limited and Terenure CollegeRugby Football Club, **had already settled the boy’s mother’s claim andhad offered a settlement of €20,000 to Jude, who had sued through hisgrandfather Brian Johnson, Alderwood Park, Salloon, Ballinamallard, CoFermanagh.**
The whole story annoys me the more I think of it.
​
So the business got sued by some clown who walked into a glass pane and then her 15 month old son sued the business AS WELL through the grandfather, for distress. No wonder places go bust / have extortionate insurance costs.
The issue is not as big as people would think but the only way to stamp it out is awarding costs against incorrect claims. You have a few who could have 3-4 cases all all ongoing at the same time because of the time it takes to get to court etc
I remember one guy telling me the process, you don’t accept the PIAB offer etc.
Now as I said it is not as rampant as the companies want to make out but if we fix it then finally we can reduce insurance.
I know one lady who opened up a creche with a children soft play area. They had to close the soft play after 24 months with the amount of claims, this was parents in a very well to do area and none of them needed the money but had no problem suing for huge money for very little reason and no fault on the soft play area, just kids been kids
I didn’t know Taxi drivers have x-ray eyes or medical degrees
I hope he can’t afford to pay his solicitors and they get stung too.
Good. Family member who was nieve got taken for a spin by a false claim. Cost her a fortune and to the point she was having to get insurance from charity organisations for her car because no company would take her on, so high where the damages the family scammed through the courts.
Was known in the area of what a scumbag the fella was, and thankfully a neighbour video recorded him lumping sacks of coal from his boot into the house having only recently testified about how his injuries have kept him of work and mostly bed ridden.
Still pushing the family member to take a civil case and clean him out
considering he has neck down to his arse I’m surprised it wasn’t broken sooner
Like the time I “ thought” I won the lottery and they wouldn’t give me the prize money
Should be front-page news when these bogus cases are found out. More of this is sorely needed.
Fuck this guy
Genuinely despise cases like this as it just makes things worse for everyone else, especially those who have genuine personal injury cases. They’re at risk of just being written off as “chancers”.
