Motorcyclist awarded €22,000 in damages after accident

A motorcyclist has been awarded compensation of over €22,000 by a court after suffering a leg injury in 2008.

Ronnie Pace filed his action for damages against George Camilleri who, he claimed, was responsible for the traffic accident.

Mr Pace said that he was driving his motor cycle in Main Street, Mosta when he was hit by a Toyota driven by Mr Camilleri.

The court heard that Mr Camilleri had accepted responsibility for the action though he submitted that Mr Pace had not suffered any permanent disability.

In its judgement the court heard a medical expert declare that Mr Pace had suffered serious harm to his left leg, though surgery had been successful. The expert concluded that Mr Pace had suffered a four per cent disability. The court then awarded Mr Pace €22,425.20 in damages.
