Limerick man who fell from multi-storey car park settles case against HSE for €7m

A Limerick man who was released on a day pass from a psychiatric unit and suffered life-changing injuries when he fell from a multi-storey car park has settled his High Court action against the HSE for €7.25m.

Andrew Curtin, his counsel John O'Mahony SC told the court, ran from his mother's car in Limerick city in September 2011 and into a multi-storey car park where he fell from the first floor and suffered "appalling injuries" to his spine.
