Car crash victim to receive Â#163;1 million compensation claim payout
pnbsp;/p
pA question commonly asked of Personal Injury Solicitors by the client is a title=How much would I ger? href=http://www.freelegal.co.uk/how_Much.htm target=_blankHow much is my accident claim worth/a? The answer to such a simple question can be quite complex. The amount of compensation arrived at is usually determined by several factors. However, the primary objective is to compensate the innocent victim of an accident for all damages sustained, so that the injured person could carry on with his life with as little disruption as possible. In cases where serious long-term injuries are sustained, the compensation award can be very substantial indeed./p
pTake the case of Marcus Jeffery, a trainee bricklayer from Cornwall, who in 2003, was involved in a car crash that would change his life forever. He was then only 16 years old.nbsp;Jeffery, now 23,nbsp;has been awarded more than pound;1 million compensation as a result of injuries he sustained innbsp;the accident.nbsp;Seven years ago, henbsp;wasnbsp;in the front passenger seat of a carnbsp;when the driver lost control, causing the vehicle to overturn several times.nbsp;Jeffrey received life threatening injuries as a result of the road traffic accident – includingnbsp;a collapsed lung, a title=spinal injury solicitors href=http://www.spinalinjurysolicitor.co.uk/ target=_blankspinal injury/a and a complex brain injury, which was probably caused by a starvation of oxygen to the brain immediately followingnbsp;the car crash. The full extent of his brain injury took many years to materialise./p
pWithout doubt, the accident was a life changing event fornbsp;Jeffrey, and through no fault of his own.nbsp;Although the exact amount has still to be finalised,nbsp;his injuries are so severe that the a title=Compensation Claims UK – 0800 01 53425 href=http://www.compensationuk.com/ target=_blankcompensation claim/a payout is said to be worth more than pound;1,000,000. The judge was recorded to have said ldquo; .. whatever monies coming to you will never compensate you for your injuries. What I hope that they will do is to give you a decent quality of life and, within that life, a proper level of support.rdquo;/p
