Damien Tansey Solicitors LLP secures settlement of €35,000 for boy cut by scalpel during birth

Damien Tansey Solicitors LLP acted for Leo Quinn of Kingswood, Dublin, who was born at The National Maternity Hospital on 6th June 2011.

Leo was delivered by emergency Caesarean section and was overall in good condition, however he had suffered a series of lacerations to his face. Leo is now 11 years of age and thankfully his cuts have healed; with the exception of one on his mid-forehead which has left a 2cm long scar. 

Damien Tansey Solicitors LLP secured a settlement of €35,000 which was approved today by the High Court. The firm’s team was led by Niall Tansey (Partner) and Ellen McGreevy (Trainee Solicitor). Click on the following link for an Irish Times article discussing this case.
