Family of Tipperary nurse killed in crash on way to work settle case

The judge said there were issues in relation to alleged contributory negligence in relation to Mrs O’Donnell and whether she was wearing a seatbelt.

The case came before the High Court today when Mr Justice Garrett Simons approved a part of the settlement for Mrs O’Donnell’ two sons Patrick and Thomas.

The family of a Tipperary mother of two killed in a head-on car crash in which the other driver also died has settled a High Court action for €550,000.

Mary O’Donnell was a nurse at the Mid West Western Regional Hospital in Limerick and was believed to be on her way to work when the early morning accident occurred not far from her home six years ago.
