a few things, she harassed my daughter for a while because she thought she had pressed charges when she recieved her summonds, but my daughter hadnt persued it at all, hadnt even been called as a witness.
I think she got a fine and a licence suspension, not sure.

I guess i should provide some feedback on where my daughter is at after the experience.
She's struggling, it has had an enormous impact on her, not through physical disability, but from a psychological standpoint.

Prior to the accident she was the rising star in her sport in SA, was the current state junior champion, crowned junior player of the year and had been earmarked for international duties.
She was playing for one of the top clubs in the state and representing SA at
State level at 12yo.

Now she trembles when she gets into a car, wont travel with anyone other than my wife and i which has impacted her when travelling to games and has lost all interest in the sport. She declined an offer to train with the National development squad and gave up the blue ribbon singles spot at State level.

The driver may have been inconvenienced, my daughter is paying the greatest price.
