Our client was a front‑seat passenger in a vehicle involved in a serious road traffic collision. She was unaware that the driver had consumed alcohol in excess of the legal limit before driving. As a result of the driver’s impaired judgment, the vehicle left the road and struck a lamp post, causing our client to sustain a severe spinal injury with long‑term, life‑changing consequences.
Following the accident, the driver was prosecuted and subsequently convicted of multiple driving offences. This criminal conviction provided clear evidence of fault and helped support our client’s civil claim for compensation arising out of the incident.
Through thorough preparation and strategic approach, we secured a £1.75 million settlement in November 2022. This compensation provides vital financial security and ensures that our client can continue accessing specialist rehabilitation, support, and the resources needed to maximise her independence and quality of life.
