Woman awarded €83k for slip in Dunnes Stores branch

The former sales assistant said she had to undergo knee replacement surgery because of her injuries.

Dunnes denied the claims, and in its defence had argued that she had contributed to her own injuries by allegedly failing to look where she was going.

A woman who slipped and fell injuring her knees at a branch of Dunnes Stores has been awarded €83,000 by the High Court.

The award was made to 58-year-old Doris Whelan who sued Dunnes Stores for injuries she claims she suffered following a fall at the supermarket at Ashleaf Shopping Centre, Walkinstown, Dublin 12, on June 27, 2013.
