Damien Tansey Solicitors LLP acted for Michelle Naughton of Ballina, Co Mayo, who gave birth to her second child on 22 March 2017 at The Rotunda Hospital, Dublin. Following an emergency caesarean section, Ms Naughton suffered a massive amount of blood loss. She subsequently developed acute HELLP Syndrome, went into multi-organ failure and had to have an emergency hysterectomy. However, she continued to haemorrhage and was eventually transferred by Ambulance to the Mater Hospital for further surgery where the bleeding was eventually brought under control. Following that surgery, she was placed in an induced coma and on life support for several days.
On behalf of Ms Naughton, Damien Tansey Solicitors LLP secured an apology and a substantial settlement which was recently approved by the High Court. The firm’s team was led by Niall Tansey (Partner).
