Cosgrove Gaynard Solicitors

A passenger who sued Ryanair after falling down steps while exiting a Ryanair plane settled her  €38,000 compensation claim* . The mobile steps were claimed to be wet and slippy. The plaintiff confirmed she was holding a rail with one hand and carrying hand luggage in the other when she fell.

The sum settled was undisclosed to the Circuit court however the matter was struck out with an order for costs granted against Ryanair.
