Woman sues partner’s parents after losing eye in accident at their house
Had Elaine Newman, aged 27, won her case, agreed damages of €200,000 would have had to have been paid to her arising out of the accident at the home of Marie and Patrick Cogan at Delganstown, Delvin, Co Westmeath, on Jun 22, 2007.
In what was described in court as a “horror story” by Ms Newman, her eye was catastrophically damaged when her partner Emmett Cogan fell and a piece of frozen meat in his hand hit and smashed the glass pane in a door causing pieces of glass to hit her eye.
