The 1st Defendant was negligent in reversing and hitting the Plaintiff, and the 2nd Defendant is vicariously liable as employer. The insurance payment of SCR 50,000 was not a full and final settlement as Plaintiff was still undergoing treatment. Plaintiff is entitled to damages for moral injury, pain and suffering, and loss of amenities, but not for permanent disability or loss of future earnings due to lack of medical evidence. The SCR 50,000 insurance payment is deducted from the total award.
