flag A father wept as a €7 million settlement was approved in a medical negligence case over his son’s brain damage from delayed treatment.

flag A father wept in Ireland’s High Court as a €7 million settlement was approved in a medical negligence case involving his 17-year-old son, who has severe brain damage and needs constant care due to spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. flag The boy, born in 2008, suffered alleged delays in treating necrotising enterocolitis and congenital hypopituitarism at two hospitals, leading to lifelong disabilities. flag The family, lacking specialized home care and support, said the settlement falls short of estimated lifetime costs but accepted it due to high litigation risks. flag The HSE and Children’s Health Ireland denied liability, and the court approved the settlement without an admission of fault.
