Carolyn Heaton and Hema Rana from Irwin Mitchell’s specialist Serious Injury team in Leeds have secured a seven-figure sum in compensation for a child who suffered severe head injuries when he was knocked down by a car.

Our client, A, was a young child at the time of the accident. He was playing out with his brother when he was knocked down by a car. A suffered a very severe brain injury as a result, which left him with cognitive and intellectual problems, severe mobility problems; he is now confined to a wheelchair and is registered blind.

Liability was contested for a long time but eventually conceded before Trial at which stage Irwin Mitchell was able to secure a substantial interim payment so that a case manager, care and therapy team could be put in place for A. Enquiries were made into obtaining appropriate long term accommodation for A and extensive expert reports were obtained in order to value A’s case for compensation.

The compensation to A amounts to over £8million which is now being managed on A’s behalf by the Court of Protection.
