Mother of young boy killed in road accident by uninsured driver.

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.

Case eventually settled (despite Counsel’s advice that the Claimant would not recover damages) for £40,000. Case reported in the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers Newsletter and client appeared on TV to highlight plight of victims of uninsured drivers.
