£115,000 Compensation for Road Traffic Accident

Matthew was working for traffic management contractors on the M5 motorway between junctions 25 and 26.

On the day of the accident he was sitting in the driver's seat of a stationary truck, legally parked, in an area that had been cordoned off by cones when a Ford Mondeo entered the coned-off area and struck the front of Matthew’s truck.  The driver of the car died of his injuries. 

Matthew suffered a severe to very severe head injury and has been left with memory impairment and has significant difficulty in learning and retaining new information. Matthew has also suffered a personality change. The award was for the injury and the loss of future earnings.
