A fantastic settlement which we secured on behalf of a child who became paraplegic following scoliosis surgery at a hospital in Dublin.

We alleged that a pedicle screw was misplaced into her spinal cord due to inadequate pre-operative planning for this complex scoliosis surgery.

The HSE denied liability.

We secured a child injury compensation settlement of €9,400,000 for a very deserving young child who became paraplegic following spinal surgery.
