A client of James McSweeney solicitors suffered injury when she was at a large outdoor concert in Punchestown. She was walking along a designated roadway when a vehicle being driven by an employee of MCD Promotions struck her left leg resulting in a fracture. The case was fought all the way to the High Court and was heard before the President of The High Court. The Defendants had claimed that our client had consumed so much alcohol that she was incapable of looking after herself and, that she had walked into the path of the vehicle.

Mr. Justice Kearns on hearing the evidence from both sides ordered that MCD Promotions were 100% liable for the accident. He awarded our client €40,000.00 for pain and suffering to date, €10,000.00 into the future for pain and suffering and €1,726.63 for her out of pocket expenses.
