A boy, who sustained a painful injury when a slab of marble fell from a fireplace mantelpiece, has been awarded 9,500 Euros after his claim for injured foot compensation was heard in the Circuit Civil Court.
William Corrigan-Hayden (8) of Tallaght, County Dublin, made the claim for injured foot compensation through his parents against the constructer of the fireplace, Liam Heeney, from Lucan, County Dublin. The court heard that although William´s injury was painful at the time, it had now healed completely.
A settlement of 9,500 Euros for William´s claim for injured foot compensation had been agreed between the parties, and the compensation for injured foot settlement received approval.
