A child who had the tip of one her fingers amputated after she suffered a crush injury while attending a religious service, has settled her High Court action for €75,000. Ariana Slamsa, who was four at the time, left her seat and was walking by boards or planks stored against a wall when they fell and trapped her hand. She later had two surgeries and the tip of her left hand’s middle finger had to be amputated. The child was shocked, distressed and upset and taken to a hospital A&E with a crush injury to her left middle finger. She had surgery and the tip of the finger was amputated.
