Monika Piech to receive €2 million settlement from Bus Éireann

Monika Piech, a Polish woman, is set to receive a €2 million settlement from Bus Éireann following a legal dispute. The incident occurred in March 2019 when Piech tripped over a loose wire on a grassy area, causing a fall that resulted in severe brain damage and left her requiring 24-hour care.

The settlement was reached through mediation, with responsibility divided 50/50. Legal representatives argued that the loose wire, part of a damaged fence, posed a safety hazard that was not properly maintained or warned against.
