A mother-of-three who was catastrophically injured when the car her husband was driving collided with a tractor on a Cork road has claimed €1 million in loss of earnings, the High Court has heard.
Olivia Redmond O’Callaghan was only 28 years of age and left with massive brain damage and needing 24-hour care for life after the accident on the old Glanmire to Cork Road in 2011. In the second day of the hearing where Ms Redmond O’Callaghan has sued her late husband’s estate, the Motor Insurers Bureau of Ireland and Cork County Council over the accident, Mr Justice O’Connor was told the issue of loss of earnings was a highly contentious aspect of the case.
The road it was claimed was constructed with a very tight bend with a radius of curvature which was allegedly below the minimum acceptable standard.
