Settlement for Passenger Severely Injured in Head-On Crash

A man who suffered life-changing injuries in a road traffic accident has obtained a seven-figure compensation settlement.

The man was travelling in the front passenger seat of a car when it was involved in a head-on collision. He sustained serious injuries, including a traumatic brain injury, and was not initially expected to survive. He underwent a number of operations, after which he was in intensive care for more than two months. The injury to his brain caused him to experience seizures and left him with cognitive impairment.

After a claim for damages was commenced, interim payments were secured to help with his living expenses and pay for his rehabilitation. An offer was made to settle the claim, which was substantially increased following negotiations and the provision of further medical evidence.

Fortunately, the man has made a remarkable recovery. The damages will help pay for his ongoing medical treatment and compensate him for his losses as a result of being unable to continue running his business.
