Nathaniel Lacy LLP's Special Investigations Unit (SIU) team was involved in three recent Circuit Court matters, with outcomes across road traffic accidents and employers' liability claims.
The cases, heard in Monaghan, Dublin and Longford, involved disputed liability, engineering evidence and the examination of medical records.
Monaghan Circuit Court | Road Traffic Accident
A road traffic accident claim settled on a 60/40 liability basis.
Although the Defendant was exiting a minor road onto a major road, engineering evidence supported a significant proportion of contributory negligence.
Dublin Circuit Court | Employers' Liability
An employers' liability claim was withdrawn by the Plaintiff following the presentation of discovered medical evidence.
The evidence highlighted inconsistencies concerning the injured limb, which were put to the Plaintiff before the claim was withdrawn.
Longford Circuit Court | Road Traffic Accident
A road traffic accident claim settled for a modest amount at District Court level.
Discovered medical evidence was significant in establishing when the Plaintiff had substantially recovered from the injuries claimed.
