Cork teen secures €1.6m settlement in medical negligence case

A 15-year-boy who suffered "catastrophic injuries" at birth has been awarded €1.6m as part settlement of his High Court medical negligence action against a Cork Hospital and a Consultant Obstetrician.

Connor Corroon's action, which was today adjourned for 18 months, may prove to be an important test case in regards to how payments are made to those requiring care for the rest of their lives.
