Josephine Higgins
Josephine Higgins, a 68-year-old woman from County Cork, was recently awarded over €170,000 by the High Court for injuries sustained when a van struck her knee while she held a parking space for her husband's car. The incident, which occurred on February 13, 2020, led to a complex court case where Higgins initially sought a substantial €1.75 million in lost earnings due to her injuries, a claim the judge deemed excessive and unsupported by evidence. Despite the judge acknowledging the impact of her injuries, including ongoing physical pain and a psychiatric adjustment disorder, he ultimately awarded her a significantly lower amount, reflecting the realistic implications of her claims.
