相關法律原則:
有關PSLA： In Wong Kin Hung, the plaintiff, aged 40, sustained a sprained neck injury when his taxi was hit by another car from behind causing his taxi to topple. He was hospitalized for a few days and was prescribed with physiotherapy, analgesics and a neck collar. He received physiotherapy for over 3 months but there remained intermittent residual neck pain. He had difficulty in performing long hours of overhead ceiling work due to neck pain after prolonged neck extension. He was awarded $70,000 for PSLA.
I find the present case similar to Li Ting Fai and Wong Kin Hung. Allowing for inflation over the years, I award Tong $120,000 under this head.
