Fatal powerwasher accident settled for €400,000
Liability was denied at the hearing, but the claim was settled for €400,000.
A recent High Court case in Ireland settled for €400,000 in respect of the death of a farmer who died after a hose carrying high-pressure water whipped around and struck him in the head, causing him fatal injuries.
The farmer’s family sued an agricultural contractor as a result of the incident. Liability was denied at the hearing, but the claim was settled. The family also brought claims for nervous shock which were also settled.
