SINGAPORE - An eight-year-old girl was severely injured in 2020 after being flung out of a van when a speeding car collided with it.A High Court trial was held to apportion liability between the two defendants – her uncle, who had been driving the van, and the driver of the car, Mr Vincent Chui.

“He also knew that the rear cargo compartment of the van was not fitted with seat belts, and that passengers travelling in his van are required to be belted. She suffered multiple issues, including reduced higher-order language skills, inability to use her right hand functionally, and deformities in both ankles.The plaintiff, a minor whose father and litigation representative sued on her behalf, had submitted, among other things, that her uncle was negligent in allowing her to travel in the rear cargo compartment, which was designed for cargo and not passengers.
