An autistic man has settled for €51,600 his High Court case over alleged injuries caused by choking on a bone in a shop-bought chicken burger nine years ago.
The man, who due to his condition sued through his mother, alleged the incident led to a deterioration in his behaviour and a doubling of his epileptic seizures to four per month.
In a sworn statement, his mother said her then 19-year-old son was eating a “Rooster’s” chicken burger she cooked at home on September 1, 2013, when a 12mm by 5mm bone became lodged in his throat.
