The Watford Observer has reported that a Mr Mark Seabrook has obtained £5 million in compensation in the High Court last week. It came after Mr Seabrook was left paralysed back in 2006 when his motor vehicle was hit by a negligent thirty driver in Watford. In fact, the full list of injuries included numerous fractures to his ribs, a broken leg, as well as spinal, chest, lung and head traumas. To make the matter even worse, the negligent driver had stolen the car that hit Mr Seabrook’s vehicle.
Not only has Mr Seabrook now been compensated for his devastating injuries, but Salliaman Khan, the negligent thief, has also been jailed for eight months.
In awarding Mr Seabrook this huge amount of compensation, account was taken of that fact that Mr Seabrook’s life had been ruined by the paralysis – that his job opportunities were now limited, and that he had in fact lost his job, and that he would need care and assistance for the rest of his life having now been confined to a wheel chair.
Road traffic accidents occur, frustratingly, on a daily basis, as we at The Injury Lawyers are only too aware. We deal with numerous calls for new claims involving motor vehicles everyday.
Thankfully, they are not all anywhere near as serious as Mr Seabrook’s, and many can be considered relatively minor in comparison, and settle in the region of £1,000 to £10,000.
If, like Mr Seabrook, you have been involved in a road traffic collision which was not your fault, and you have subsequently sustained an injury of any sort, it is more than likely that you will be entitled to compensation.
The best thing to do is to get in touch with a quality injury lawyer like us who will be more than happy to provide you with some free legal advice and cost free representation. Whatever you do, if the other side’s insurer gives you a call and say they will settle your >claim for compensation, do not accept it without seeking advice.
At The Injury Lawyers we are also only too aware of the number of people who settle their compensation claims without seeking advice, and then later realise that they have under-settled their claim, and that there is nothing they can do about it.

Out advice is free and is provided with no obligations. Even better, should you instruct us to deal with your claim, we work under a genuine no win, no fee agreement which means we will never charge you for the costs of your claim.
