After a serious car crash, car accident compensation can help provide crash victims with the necessary help and support they need to help rehabilitate after suffering a serious personal injury. This can help pay for specialised equipment, treatments or carers that may otherwise by inaccessible to crash victims.
A 26-year-old bricklayer from Dobwalls who was paralysed in a car crash in Cornwall was awarded more than £2m in compensation in February 2010 after successfully reaching a settlement for his case against the driver of the car he was travelling in.
Lawyers representing the injured man argued that the 19-year-old driver of the car, who died in the crash, was driving too fast and did not take the appropriate action to avoid an obstruction. His three passengers, who included the 26-year-old, were all seriously injured in the crash.
The accident occurred after the driver lost control of the car and hit a boulder on the side of the A390, near Liskeard, Cornwall on October 25th, 2003. The bricklayer was sat in the back of the car and was hospitalised for several months after suffering severe spinal injuries which left him paralysed from the waist down.
The compensation amount awarded to the passenger was based on the loss of earnings that the former bricklayer now faces and any specialised equipment that he may require following his injury.
Although it was not immediately reported whether the two other passengers made compensation claims for their injuries, as the driver was found to be at fault for the crash, they may also be eligible to make similar compensation claims for their personal injuries.
If you have been involved in a car crash that was not your fault and you have been injured, you could be eligible to make a compensation claim.
