A man has received £10,000 compensation after he was injured in a road traffic accident.
Mr X was walking around his neighbourhood on a fine, light day. As he was walking along the pavement, past a row of garages, a car reversed from one of the garages knocking him over causing him to hit his head on the concrete and to be knocked unconscious.
Mr X sustained injuries to his head, elbow, knee and right ankle. Upon attendance at A&E he was found to have sustained a fractured right ankle and lacerations to his head requiring stitches. He was admitted to hospital for two nights. Mr X was unable to walk up steps following the accident.
The Defendant admitted liability and the case was settled out of Court.
