Approving the €11,000 settlement, Mr Justice O’Higgins said it appeared that the mother had an unfortunate slip on a wet day and the child had a potential serious injury, but according to the medical report there was a short duration of symptoms. File picture

A 12-year-old girl who sustained a skull injury as a newborn baby after it was claimed she fell from her mother’s arms when her mother allegedly slipped in a takeaway restaurant has settled a High court action for €11,000.

Aisling Crowley was only six months old at the time of the accident when the High Court heard she fell on the floor of the Supermac’s takeaway restaurant in Tullamore, Co Offaly, hitting her head. The settlement is without an admission of liability.
