Appeal regarding claim for psychiatric injury fails

By Zurich Municipal

The Glasgow bin lorry crash in which six people died and a further 15 were injured after the driver of a bin lorry suffered a blackout at the wheel causing his vehicle to plough into Christmas shoppers in 2014 was one of Scotland’s most tragic RTA’s. The case of Weddle v Glasgow City Council allowed the court to consider the position of pursuers who suffered a stand-alone psychiatric injury as a result of witnessing the accident.
