Irwin Mitchell represented a man who suffered a head injury when he and his wife were hit by a car in France. The car was being driven by a French national who eventually faced criminal charges in relation to the incident.
Sadly our client’s wife was killed in the incident. Our client suffered a severe brain injury, as well as facial injuries, a punctured lung and a fractured pelvis. He was in a coma for some time and needed neurosurgery in a French hospital.
Following surgery our client was transferred to the UK. We pursued a claim for the client and he received £2.2million in an out of court settlement.
The substantial compensation award allowed our client to make modifications to his home to allow him to continue to live there and also to put a care regime in place.
