Garda Compensation


Posted in News on Friday, April 17th, 2020

The Litigation Department at Cantillons Solicitors recently represented a member of An Garda Siochana who suffered serious personal injuries as a result of an assault on duty. 

Our client was spat at and suffered post-traumatic stress (PTSD) as a result of the assault.

We issued proceedings by virtue of the provision of the Garda Siochana (Compensation) Acts, 1941-1945.

After hearing the evidence, the Court awarded our client significant financial compensation for the post-traumatic stress suffered. 

Contact us at Cantillons Solicitors at +353 (0)21 4275673 or info@cantillons.com if you would like more information.

*In contentious business a solicitor may not calculate fees or other charges as a percentage of any award or settlement.
