We acted for a 16-year-old girl who was a passenger in a vehicle being driven by a friend who pulled out of a side road into the path of an oncoming vehicle on a major road. Our client suffered multiple injuries, including scarring from broken glass, following impact with the other car. She suffered from a deep laceration to her eye area which resulted in significant scarring which was visible at conversational distance.
In this case, we obtained reports from an orthopaedic surgeon, ophthalmologist, plastic surgeon and neurologist and recovered damages in the sum of £45,000 for her.
On our client’s behalf, we claimed compensation for the physical pain and suffering she had experienced together with the psychological damage caused by the scarring. We also claimed out of pocket expenses including camouflage make-up as it was felt by the plastic surgeon that due to the location of the scarring, that it was not suitable for revision surgery.
