National Express Coach Crash Victim - £19k compensation
Boyes Turner’s personal injury lawyers recently secured £19k in compensation for a man who was seriously injured in a National Express coach crash on 3 January 2007.
He had been a passenger on the 592 National Express coach heading towards Aberdeen which departed London Victoria at 22.30 and was due to arrive at Aberdeen coach park at 10.30 am on 4 January 2007. The coach crash occurred on the slip road connecting the west bound M4 motorway to the north bound (clockwise) M25 motorway at approximately the point where the slip road merges with the slip road from the east bound M4. At this point the slip road is on a downhill gradient with a right turn with decreasing radius necessitating a posted advisory speed limit of 40 mph.
Sixty-five people were injured and three people died in the crash, including our client’s wife. Our client survived but incurred lacerations, bruising, neurological damage and scarring as well as continuing psychological symptoms, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and travel phobia.
Our client continues to suffer problems and is coping with continuing symptoms of PTSD as well as altered sensation and numbness at the site of the scalp wound. He also continues to suffer pain and limited external rotation in his right shoulder.
