Woman wins £1m payout after road accident left her so badly injured she had to move into a bungalow
A woman who suffered serious injuries in a road traffic accident has received more than £1 million in damages.As a result of the accident she was left so immobile she gained weight and was deemed to high a risk for a hip replacement she required.In the end she had to have surgery to lose six stones and is now awaiting a new hip.The woman had to move into a bungalow due to her injuries leaving her on crutches.The lady sustained complex fractures of her hip and ankle – as well as multiple rib fractures – in the accident in 2014 and has since suffered significant mobility issues and been forced to use crutches.A settlement meeting held last week resulted in a compensation package of £1,080,000 being agreed.Andy Shaw, Head of Personal Injury
