Passenger seriously injured after car left the road

£45,000 Settlement

JH was a front seat passenger in the NS’s vehicle when the NS lost control and the car left the road, rolling several times before coming to rest on its side in a wood. Liability was admitted by NS’s solicitors, but the issue of causation was raised due to JH’s failure to wear a seatbelt.

JH suffered extensive injuries to the neck, back and left shoulder. Internal bruising, lacerations to the liver and internal bleeding, punctured lungs and concussion.
