€5m settlement for man severely injured by scrambler

COUPLE Ilabek & Anzhela

A MAN who suffered catastrophic injuries when a scrambler motorbike landed on him as he was sunbathing with his wife in a Dublin city park has settled a High Court action for €5.2million.

Ilabek Avetian was 39 and had just moved to Ireland from Lithuania to begin a new life when the scrambler motorbike came over a hill and collided with the couple.

Mr Avetian suffered a severe brain injury, fractures and lost an eye in the accident at Darndale Park, Coolock, on June 9, 2018.

His counsel Jonathan Kilfeather SC, instructed by Hennessy Perrozzi solicitors, told the court that Mr Avetian has gone from being in a comatose state to having a limited ability to communicate.

He said: "While he cannot live an independent life, he can now enjoy some quality of life as opposed to no quality of life.
