Scottish taxi driver claims car accident compensation. 16/03/11
A Scottish taxi driver has made a successful injury compensation claim following a freak accident where a farm trailer collided with his car on the A947 Aberdeen to Banff road in October 2009.
The pensioner from Turriff was travelling along the road when the trailer of an approaching tractor came loose and collided with his car. The man, who was transporting two children to school, had to be airlifted to hospital along with one of the children after suffering a number of injuries including a broken leg and a collapsed lung.
The car accident victim had several operations as a result of his injuries and was in hospital for more than 10 weeks. After originally seeking an injury compensation award for £115,000, his legal representatives eventually settled the claim out of court for an undisclosed amount.
