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.
