A Dublin taxi driver who denied exaggerating his injuries after his car was allegedly rear-ended by another taxi has settled his High Court action on undisclosed terms.
In proceedings before Ms Justice Bronagh O’Hanlon, Mr Delaney claimed the defendant was negligent and in breach of his duty of care towards him. He said it did not recede and after time he was referred to hospital and diagnosed as suffering whiplash to his neck.Under cross-examination by David Nolan SC, with Paul O’Neill BL, for the defendant, Mr Delaney denied exaggerating his claim or that his account of what occurred was “close to fraudulent.”
Mr Delaney disagreed with counsel he had “falsified a claim out of frustration with Aviva” as the insurer did not accept a collision had occurred as claimed and was not prepared to pay out.He said he contacted Aviva because he wanted the matter resolved and did not want to claim on his own car insurance as the premium would increase.
When counsel said doctors reports had described the plaintiff’s condition as being “normal”, Mr Delaney denied the extent of his injuries had been exaggerated.
