Driver hit by trailer on country road

Background

We acted for a gentleman aged 48 who was driving his Porsche Twin Turbo motor car along a road when the Defendant drove into the side of his vehicle.

In this case liability was not in dispute.

Our client sadly suffered a moderate to severe brain injury, a series of significant orthopedic injuries and was in a induced coma for 5 days .

In addition to the challenge of his physical injuries he suffered from depressive episodes, post-traumatic stress disorder, general anxiety disorder and social phobia.

Before this accident he was enthusiastic about his work as a self-employed businessman and enjoyed life to the full. His acquired brain injury had a devastating effect on his ability to continue in business and his life as it had been.

Representation

We obtained expert evidence from at least 7 disciplines of experts. We arranged and facilitated rehabilitation by way of care, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, support workers, psychological therapy and any other needs that he had.

We represented him against the Defendant’s legal team throughout legal proceedings and at a joint settlement meeting and successfully secured a significant multi-million-pound settlement which left him financially secure for life.

Resolution

Our claim included general damages for pain suffering and loss of amenity, past care, past loss of earnings to his business and miscellaneous expenses, future loss of business earnings, future care and assistance in case management, future accommodation costs, future medical and therapy costs and other future expenses.   We also had Court of Protection costs as the Claimant lacked capacity.
