Woman guaranteed generous payout after hit and run

A woman has been told she will receive a large compensation payout after being left with severe neck and back injuries as a result of being hit by a hit-and-run driver in February 2005.

Following the incident, the woman, now 22, was unable to walk for two years and a court has now revealed that her compensation payment could total millions. A High Court judge has stated that she was entirely blameless for the incident, and that the driver, from Cardiff, was an “appallingly reckless driver” who “behaved in an outrageous manner.”

The defendant was thought to have been driving at 60 mph in a 30 mph zone when he hit the claimant as she crossed the road after a night out with friends. The driver has since been sentenced to a 21-month jail term and has been banned from driving for ten years after he admitted to dangerous driving in May 2005.

The claimant was a keen footballer before the accident that broke her pelvis, her back, both her wrists and bones in her legs.

The actual value of the compensation to be awarded by her insurer is likely to be established in a further court hearing.
