Woman who slipped on eggs loses €38k claim

A 24-year-old unemployed woman, who claimed she suffered injuries after slipping and falling on broken eggs in a Dublin supermarket, has lost a €38,000 damages claim in the Circuit Civil Court.

Lisa McDonagh had told the court that in September 2012, she had been doing her grocery shopping with a friend at Iceland, Le Fanu Road, Ballyfermot, Dublin, when the accident happened.

McDonagh, of Rosebank Place, Clondalkin, Dublin, said she had almost finished her shopping when she slipped on the eggs and fell, striking her head, right shoulder and arm.
