A man was awarded €323,403 in compensation yesterday, after an accident which took place at work left him permanently injured.
Brian Micallef was working with Brian Tyre Services in 1999, when a large tyre he was inflating burst and injured him. The incident left Mr Micallef, who was just 23 at the time, with a 53 per cent disability.
A prior partial judgement concluded that the responsibility for this accident fell upon the employers.
