Significant Award for Garda injured in duty


Posted in News on Wednesday, July 22nd, 2026

The Litigation team at Cantillons recently represented a former member of An Garda Siochana who suffered serious personal injuries as a result of a vicious assault on duty.

Our client suffered a life altering injury as a result of the assault on duty which ultimately led to her discharge from An Garda Siochana. We issued proceedings under the provisions of the Garda Siochana (Compensation) Acts, 1941-1945. After hearing evidence, the Court awarded our client a six-figure sum by way  of financial compensation for her injuries and out of pocket expenses to date and into the future.  https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/courtandcrime/arid-41883493.html
