£250,000 compensation for pedestrian hit by a car
Speak to a member of our specialist international team of UK personal injury lawyers today on 0330 107 0107.
I am pleased to announce that Serious and Catastrophic Injury Team at IMD Solicitors LLP has achieved a significant compensation for our client who sustained significant Traumatic Brain Injury following road traffic accident.
Our client was crossing the road on her way home from work when she was hit by a speeding vehicle. This event changed her life and our client required hemicraniectomy and significant amount of rehabilitation which is ongoing to his day.
She was experiencing significant cognitive impairment, psychological and physical difficulties including dysexecutive syndrome, significant apathy, serious short term memory problems as well as a loss of taste and smell.
The change in our client’s life is best illustrated by the fact that prior to the accident she was a fiercely independent and social person who was running home finances for both herself, her daughter and son in law.
Following the accident our client almost stopped socialising and spends most of her days alone in her room. She has to rely on others in most day to day activities and has to receive frequent prompts from her close ones to function normally.
The case was very complex and during the case evidence came to light which showed that our client has ran out from behind a stopped car whilst holding a mobile phone and without paying sufficient care and attention to the road.
This lead to a significant deduction from our client’s damages but we were still able to prove that the driver of the vehicle was responsible for her accident.
Our client received a sum of £250,000 and she also received significant rehabilitation for her injuries.
We hope that the settlement has alleviated our client’s financial worries for the future and ensured that she will receive ongoing rehabilitation in the long term.
