£1.26 million settlement for RTA brain injury
A young woman who sustained a serious brain injury in a fatal collision that claimed the lives of three others, has received
£1.26 million in an out of court settlement. She was left with a catalogue of serious injuries when the car she was travelling
in as a passenger crashed and ended up on its roof. She suffered multiple trauma including severe brain damage, fractured
ribs and lung contusions, fractures to her legs, arms and hands, fractures to her pelvis and internal bleeding. The defendant
insurers had tried to settle the claim by making an offer in the sum of £250,000. The claim was eventually settled out of
court.
