Anne Keenan and Catherine McCarthy , both from Ennis, alleged taxi struck van during 2016 trip to Heuston Station in Dublin The claims alleged a taxi crashed into the back of a white van while the driver used his mobile phone as he drove to Heuston Station in Dublin in June 2016. Photograph: Eric LukeA woman has received just under €59,000 in personal injury damages from nine cases taken against various insurance companies without ever having to go to court, a judge has heard.
Mr Ó Géibheannaigh, who appeared with Newmans Solicitors for the Motor Insurers’ Bureau of Ireland, taxi driver Stephen Dolan and Allianz, told the court Ms Keenan had failed to declare nine previous incidents in which she picked up €59,000 in out of court settlements. Ms McCarthy, he said, failed to disclose one such case.
“Mr Dolan was adamant there was no collision or accident and said his phone was attached to the dash at all times during the journey,” Judge Walsh said. “I am satisfied neither woman was involved in an accident.” He said he found both claims to be outrageous and could only conclude they were cases of fraud and gross exaggeration against an innocent taxi driver. “I have no hesitation in dismissing both claims and I will award one set of costs in favour of the defendants,” he told Mr Ó Géibheannaigh.
