Carpenter sues after losing fingers in saw accident

Antoni Jamroziewicz, aged 52, of Caherdavin, Co Limerick, was about to cut a metre length of timber from a 1.5m plank when he lost his balance and fell. His left hand went into the saw and part of his index and ring fingers were severed from his hand. It was not possible to restore these fingers.

The plaintiff, who was born near Krakow, Poland, came to Ireland for a contract of work in 2007. The accident happened at 4.30pm on April 23, 2008. The case which continues today was brought against recruitment agency, O’Neill Brennan Ltd and German contractor Strabag International GmbH.
