Serious Orthopaedic Injury Settlement for £1million

Sophie Davies

Settlement secured for life-changing injuries in HGV collision

Our client, a 25-year-old Spanish national, was travelling in a work van when it was struck at high speed by a Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV). The impact was devastating, resulting in the tragic deaths of two of his colleagues.

Seated in the offside rear of the van, our client sustained a severe brain injury alongside multiple life-changing orthopaedic injuries, including:

• Spinal and pelvic fractures
• Several open fractures to his dominant wrist
• Facial injuries resulting in permanent scarring
• Hearing loss and eye injuries
• Ongoing psychological trauma

He has undergone extensive medical treatment and continues to require long-term care, rehabilitation, and cosmetic camouflage for facial scarring.

As an electrician, our client’s career was abruptly cut short due to the extent of his injuries. It was also anticipated that he would struggle to maintain any form of long-term employment. In addition, he was due to take over the family business — a role he is now unable to fulfil.

£1 million settlement

We secured a £1 million settlement, which reflected the seriousness of his injuries, his future care needs, and significant loss of future earnings.
