We recently secured a £75,000 settlement for our client, who was injured when sitting outside a café on holiday in the UK.
How the Accident Happened
Our client was enjoying a holiday with family, sitting outside a café, when a vehicle suddenly mounted the pavement and hit their table and chairs.
Injuries Sustained
The impact propelled our client several metres, causing their head to hit a wall before they fell heavily onto their back. Emergency services attended promptly, and our client was taken to hospital with multiple injuries, including significant trauma to their head and hand requiring surgery, they also suffered psychological distress.
Obtaining Medical Evidence
To support the claim, we obtained expert medical evidence across a range of specialities, including orthopaedic surgery, ophthalmology, and psychology.
Settlement and Outcome
A claim was brought for compensation for our client’s injuries, loss of enjoyment of an activity holiday, past and future care and assistance from family members including housework and gardening and the cost of potential future surgery.
Following negotiations, the claim was successfully settled for £75,000. This reflected the seriousness of our client’s physical and psychological injuries, as well as their ongoing and future care needs.
