Peter initially worked as a driver. His duties later expanded to include working as a security operative at the Defendant’s premises in a hospital. He drove the Defendant’s doctors from the premises to patients’ homes and patrolled the premises each night he was on duty.
On the night of the incident, he received directions to patrol the premises. Around midnight, while patrolling, his foot became caught in a hole in the ground, causing him to fall and suffer personal injuries and expenses. Peter sustained a wound to his forehead and a head injury. A doctor on duty at the premises treated him, and an ambulance transported him to the Emergency Department afterward.
As a result, Peter has faced significant disruptions in his work life and daily activities. He has been unable to work following the accident. Every employer has a duty of care to ensure the well-being of their workers and to provide a safe and hazard-free work environment. In this case, the employer failed to address the risk, which led to Peter’s accident.
Partner Caoimhe McConnell initiated court proceedings, and the case reached a successful conclusion.
The case settled on the 8th of April 2025 for €90,000. This outcome was a great result for our client, and we are proud of all the work Caoimhe McConnell and her team put in to achieve this brilliant result.

Sherwin O’Riordan Solicitors Dublin understand the debilitating impact of post-traumatic headaches (PTH) following an accident or injury. If you’re suffering from persistent headaches, migraines, or other head pain after a car accident, workplace incident, slip and fall, or any other traumatic event, you may be entitled to compensation. Our experienced personal injury solicitors specialize in head injury claims and are dedicated to helping you navigate the complexities of securing justice and financial recovery. We handle a wide range of post-concussion syndrome claims, including those involving chronic daily headaches, cervicogenic headaches, and tension-type headaches stemming from trauma. We will meticulously assess your case, gathering crucial medical evidence, including neurological reports and pain specialist assessments, to establish the link between your injury and your ongoing headache symptoms. Our goal is to ensure you receive appropriate compensation for your pain and suffering, loss of earnings, medical expenses, and future care needs related to your post-traumatic headache disability.
Post-traumatic headaches are a common and often debilitating consequence of head trauma, even in cases where there is no loss of consciousness or visible injury. These headaches can manifest in various forms, including migraine-like headaches, cluster headaches, and new daily persistent headaches (NDPH), significantly impacting your quality of life, ability to work, and daily activities.
When pursuing a personal injury claim for post-traumatic headaches, it is crucial to demonstrate a clear causal link between the traumatic event and the onset or exacerbation of your headache condition. This often involves detailed medical documentation from neurologists, pain management specialists, and general practitioners, outlining the diagnosis, severity, and prognosis of your PTH.
We also consider the psychological impact of chronic pain, including potential anxiety and depression related to post-traumatic headaches, which can further strengthen your claim for comprehensive compensation. Our team is adept at valuing these complex claims, ensuring that all aspects of your suffering and financial losses are accounted for, from immediate medical costs to long-term rehabilitation and care.
