A High Court case which would have explored whether a child can be held liable for any contributory negligence in a traffic accident ended before the trial could be held, with $1.168 million in agreed damages, including interest, awarded to a girl who turns 10 this year.
The girl suffered a serious head injury after a collision with a minivan while she was riding a kick scooter.
