SIGNIFICANT COMPENSATION FOR CLIENT INVOLVED IN SINGLE CAR ACCIDENT
Posted in News on Wednesday, November 13th, 2024
Jody Cantillon and the Litigation team at Cantillons recently successfully obtained 7 figure compensation for a client who suffered injury, loss and damage as a result of a road traffic accident in Limerick.
Our client was a passenger in a car being driven late at night. The driver of the car was under the influence of alcohol. Our client was not wearing her seatbelt. Unfortunately, the driver lost control and our client was thrown from the vehicle and made impact with the road. She suffered a serious brain injury (along with other physical injuries) as a result.
Our client was transferred to Hospital and remained in Intensive Care for a period.
The matter was referred to the Personal Injuries Resolution Board (PIRB – formally PIAB) but was released given the extent of our client’s injuries.
Thereafter, High Court Personal Injuries proceedings issued.
As part of our client’s claim, we successfully claimed for past and future loss of earnings and care costs.
The matter was listed for hearing and ran for 3 days when the Defendant made an offer to settle the case resulting in a significant compensation for our client.

* 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 Car Accident Solicitors Cork” or “no win no fee Solicitors Dublin”. 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.
