As a consequence, this lady\u2019s life and her relationship with her husband, were changed immeasurably.<\/p>\n<p>The proceedings were complicated and vigorously contested by the Defendants, Quest Diagnostics Laboratory and the HSE, both of whom denied liability. \u00a0However, as a consequence of the strength of the expert reports procured on behalf of our clients, this lady and her husband were invited to mediation by the defendants shortly before the scheduled trial date. Fortunately, and much to our clients relief, Cantillons legal team managed to resolve their cases out of court and negotiated substantial settlements for the couple to compensate them for their injuries and losses.<\/p>\n<p>Contact us at Cantillons Solicitors at +353 (0)21 4275673 or\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:info@cantillons.com\">info@cantillons.com<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0if you would like more information.<\/p>\n<p><em>* In contentious business, a Solicitor may not calculate fees or other charges as a percentage or proportion of any award or settlement.\u00a0 Many Personal Injury Solicitors portray themselves as \u201cno win no fee Solicitors Cork\u201d.
