Cyclist launches multi-million euro claim against Dublin City Council after accident

The cyclist who was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident in a city centre cycle lane three years ago, has claimed he sustained catastrophic injuries.

The High Court was told that the claim is 'very substantial' and special damages including future care costs and loss of earnings runs to millions of euros. All the claims are denied.

 Dublin City Council is being sued in a multi-million euro claim by a man who says he suffered life-changing injuries after he fell off his electric bike as he travelled along a Dublin city centre cycle lane.

The action is believed to be one of the first personal injuries claims before the High Court in relation to alleged injuries as a result of an accident involving an electric bike.
