Nervous Shock Symposium

The firm hosted a symposium on Nervous Shock and Psychiatric Claims for the insurance claims community, discussing the evolving medical and litigation landscapes.

Managing Partner Cora Fitzsimons gave an overview of the current litigation landscape with a number of case examples, and was then joined by consultant psychiatrist Dr P. Finian Kelly who discussed the terms, definitions and diagnoses of psychiatric injuries. Barristers Jonathan Kilfeather SC and Grainne Fahey BL then looked at the implications of these claims in the superior and lower courts.
