Claim defended by Motor Insurers Bureau on basis that client was a 'secondary victim' whose attendance on her dead son was too 'remote' to found a psychiatric injury.
Claimant sustained a modest whiplash injury. Defendant insurers alleged that their driver was travelling too slowly to have caused the Claimant any injury (a so called 'Low Velocity Impact' case).
The Defendant driver saw her but failed to take evasive action and there was a collision.
