Augustus Cullen Law secure a settlement for an incident where a Flight Attendant was hit by a falling suitcase in Dublin Airport
Augustus Cullen Law has recently succeeded in settling a case on behalf of a Plaintiff client for injuries that she suffered following an incident where a passenger on an escalator in Terminal 2 of Dublin Airport lost control of her suitcase which then fell down and violently hit the Plaintiff. As a result of the injuries sustained, the Plaintiff was forced to undergo a full hip replacement and also suffered with psychological injuries.
The basis of the Plaintiff’s claim was that, not only was the individual who dropped the suitcase negligent, but also that Dublin Airport Authority were negligent due to the poor design and layout of Terminal 2 at the time. In particular, the Plaintiff made the case that there was a lack of adequate signage indicating where individuals with large suitcases could use a lift.
The matter ran for one day in the High Court after which the matter was ultimately settled between the parties in terms that were very satisfactory to the Plaintiff.
