Driver seeks compensation after colliding with horse

In one of the country's more unusual personal injury claims in recent memory, a driver who sustained a severe back injury after ploughing into a horse is seeking a seven-figure compensation settlement.

David Owen was driving along the A46 one morning in February 2008, when he collided with a horse that had strayed from a farm in Evesham.

According to a recent article in lifestyle magazine Horse and Hound, the horse was propelled on top of his car, crushing him within and breaking his neck in four places. In addition, Mr Owen suffered serious damage to his lower spine that will forever leave him in pain.

Subsequent surgery could not alleviate a constant pain in Mr Owen's legs, back and neck, while he suffers with headaches daily.

The horse allegedly escaped from Parks Farm House in the town of Evesham and, as Mr Owen has been unable to return to work, he is suing the horses owner for £3.8 million.

Millions of road collision or RTAs (Road Traffic Accidents) occur on Britain's roads every year and drivers are often left with permanent injuries as a result. If, like Mr Owen, you've suffered a major accident, contact our personal injury experts today and see what compensation could be available.
