Father-of-three gets €3m after road accident and hospital fall

A SETTLEMENT understood to be for over €3 million was reached yesterday in the High Court in the case of a wheelchair-bound father-of-three who sustained serious injuries in a road accident and hit his head on the ground after falling off a hospital table about a month later.

Timothy Morrissey had claimed that, just weeks after sustaining serious injuries in a road accident, he suffered further serious injuries when he fell from a hospital table while being X-rayed.

He claimed the fall from the hospital table was at the core of his injuries and that, as a result of the fall, he is a quadriplegic.
