Personal Injury – Compensation – Insurance Company – Road Traffic Accident - Evidence
The original dispute involved a claim for compensation against an insurance company for personal injury which had resulted from a road traffic accident. A key point made was that the victim had not been given sufficient opportunity to show the losses she had incurred when compensation was calculated.
Background
This case involved a joint appeal with BCC 367/2009.
A woman filed a case against an insurance company for compensation after she had been injured in car accident. The court ruled that the insurance company should pay part of the compensation.
The woman and the insurance company appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court rejected the insurance company's appeal and ruled that the compensation should be increased.
