The High Court awarded a car accident victim €70,890 for sustained injuries, including a post-concussion syndrome that resulted in memory and concentration difficulties, as well as carpal tunnel syndrome and psychiatric injury. The plaintiff's symptoms of neck pain and headaches were deemed to have subsided to intermittent occurrences one year post-accident. The court found the plaintiff's dominant injury to be post-concussion syndrome, which has not resolved and is unlikely to do so. Special damages were agreed upon at €2,990.
