£5.75mn for baby crash injury

A young girl has been awarded £5,750,000 compensation after suffering severe injuries in a car crash. She was hit by a van in 1997 and her mother sued the van driver’s insurer. The girl, who was in a baby seat when the crash occurred, now suffers from epilepsy and is unable to walk more than a few yards. She was also left with learning difficulties and impaired hearing and vision that means she requires around-the-clock care for the rest of her life.
