A woman says she woke up in hospital following a mystery incident in which she was injured and about which she has no memory, a judge has been told.
Pamela Doyle (47) lost a damages claim in the Circuit Civil Court yesterday against the Motor Insurers Bureau of Ireland, which compensates victims of untraced hit-and- run or uninsured drivers.
Circuit Court president Raymond Groarke told her she had failed to satisfy him on the balance of probabilities that she had been injured by a motor vehicle. It could have been a cyclist, a pedestrian or she could have fallen.
He said the last thing Ms Doyle, Cork Street, Dublin, said she remembered was standing on a footpath at 7pm on November 24th, 2009, with the intention of crossing Crumlin Road.
The next thing she was “coming to” in St James’s Hospital with a head injury, a broken collar bone, two black eyes and grazed knees. The hospital had recorded that she had been involved in a traffic incident.
