Girl gets €125k for scooter fall
Charlotte Clapperton was nine when she had the accident at Tyrconnell Rd, Inchicore, on May 31, 2007. Her counsel told the High Court the footpath was raised because of tree roots.
Barrister John Nolan said the girl had to have two operations to her left elbow and still has difficulty. He said she was a keen gymnast and Irish dancer before the accident but had to find other pastimes since her fall.
