€3m settlement for cyclist suffering brain injury after crash

A cyclist who suffered a traumatic brain injury when he was thrown almost 2.5m in the air after he was hit by a van has settled his High Court action for €3m.

Alexandru Martin Doroscan was cycling at a junction in Blanchardstown, Dublin, when he was knocked down by a van, the High Court heard.

Mr Doroscan, aged 33, suffered injuries including a traumatic brain injury and had amnesia for four months after the incident — he only knew he was in an incident because he was told what happened.
