Girl left deaf after car crushed carry cot gets €1m

A 16 year old who has been left profoundly deaf after a tragic accident as a baby when the family car rolled along the driveway and crushed her carry cot against the house has settled her High Court action for €1m.

Emma Farrell had sued her mother Angela Farrell as a result of the accident when she was just seven months old.

Mr Justice Kevin Cross in the High Court was told Emma is profoundly deaf, but can lip read and is doing well at secondary school.
