An 11-year-old boy settled a €4 million case against Ireland’s HSE over birth injuries, without admission of liability.
An 11-year-old boy has settled a High Court case against Ireland’s HSE for €4 million over birth complications at Cork University Maternity Hospital in 2014, without an admission of liability.
The settlement, reached through mediation, stems from claims he suffered mild brain damage due to oxygen deprivation during a traumatic delivery, requiring resuscitation and intensive care.
His mother alleged she requested a cesarean section for her large baby, which was not performed, and that shoulder dystocia was mishandled.
The HSE denied wrongdoing, stating care met medical standards and the complications were unforeseeable.
Judge Paul Coffey called the settlement favorable given the case’s complexity.
The boy, who has mild cognitive challenges but excels in school, and his family remain anonymous by court order.
