Martin Pullen took part in performance by ThunderCat Racing team at Dublin Port Riverfest in 2017
The court heard liability was in dispute in the case and the defendants also disputed whether Mr Pullen had an acquired brain injury and contended his memory loss was very mild. There was also the issue of whether there was alleged contributory negligence on the part of Mr Pullen.
Counsel said Mr Pullen was in the hospital’s ICU for 23 days and remained under the care of the neurosurgical team at Beaumont Hospital for two months until he could return home to the UK. The court heard the €800,000 includes damages amounting to €550,000 and legal fees of €250,000 and will be paid out by insurance company Axis Speciality Europe SE of London as, the court heard, the two companies sued have no assets.
