COMPENSATION FOR WORKER INJURED ON BOAT


Posted in News on Thursday, December 11th, 2025

Jody Cantillon and the Litigation Team at Cantillons Solicitors recently obtained significant compensation in a case for a client who suffered injuries while working on a ship at sea.

In summary, our client was crushed between 2 boats during the course of our client’s employment.

Cantillons Solicitors instructed an Expert Engineer and Marine Surveyor who confirmed that there was negligence on the part of our client’s employer and/or the operators of the ships involved.

The matter was referred to the Injuries Resolution Board (IRB) and the matter was released as some of the Defendants were from different countries and the Defendants denied liability. Thereafter, our client launched a High Court Personal Injuries Compensation Claim.

The case settled for significant compensation without our client having to give evidence in Court.

* In contentious business, a Solicitor may not calculate fees or other charges as a percentage or proportion of any award or settlement.  Many Personal Injury Solicitors portray themselves as “no win no fee work accident Solicitors Cork”. This term can be misleading and it is essential that you discuss fees with the Personal Injury Solicitor you ultimately choose. At Cantillons Solicitors, we are entirely transparent.
