He lost two toes in a lawnmower accident.
A Laois man found guilty of insurance fraud worth €167,000 after losing two toes in a lawnmower accident has avoided jail.
47 year old Gerald Guidera, from Bianconi Way, Portlaoise, in Laois, pleaded not guilty to deception at a trial in February this year.
The Irish Independent is reporting he was found guilty of lying about where the lawnmower incident took place, so that he could claim compensation for working on land he was hired to tend to as a caretaker.
Mr Guidera was given a two year jail sentence, fully suspended for five years and was ordered to pay FBD Insurance €20,000 in five installments over the next five years.
