Wheelchair bound driver receives road traffic compensation
A middle-aged woman who was confined to a wheelchair following a
head-on collision in 2009 has been awarded substantial, yet still
undisclosed compensation.
The unnamed 48-year-old female's life was forever changed after
a major collision in Basildon back in December 2009. Her
resulting injuries were so severe that she is now confined to a
wheelchair and needs round-the-clock medical care.
The crash, which resulted when an elderly man drove straight
into the injured party's vehicle, claimed the life of the other
driver involved and shut down the scene for hours afterwards.
According local newspapers, the claimant had to be taken to
Queen's Hospital in nearby Romford via air ambulance for
life-saving medical attention after the crash.
"Cognitively, our mum was unaffected, so her awareness and her
lovely character are intact ... we're just relieved the process has
finally come to an end," her son told the source soon
afterwards.
An undisclosed amount of money, which is known to run into the
millions, has since been awarded to the claimant in order to help
her financially, as she will never be able to work again.
