Question 2

Nick was rushing to pick his daughter up from school. As he was running quite late, he was in a hurry and was driving at a speed that was in excess of the speed limit for the residential street on which he was driving. He was also on the phone to his daughter who had called to see how much longer he would be. Distracted by his irate daughter, Nick does not notice that Jenny, who is on a moped, is stopped at a red traffic light. Nick hits Jenny at quite a significant speed. Jenny is knocked off the moped. The moped is badly damaged by Nick`s car.

Nick is shocked, but uninjured. Jenny was wearing a helmet, so luckily she does not suffer any head injuries. However she does suffer from a broken arm and a spinal injury. Jenny has to take two months off work as a result of her injuries. The medical specialist who has been treating Jenny is of the opinion that it is difficult to determine what the long term effects of her spinal injury may be.

Identify the civil claim which is available to Jenny, and explain which facts she must prove to be successful in her claim and to what standard she must prove them. State whether you think her claim is likely to succeed.

Explain the categories of damages she may be awarded.
