Record damages
Nicholas Allen, aged eight, a car crash victim, was awarded damages of £ 380,000 ($886,000) by the High Court in London for “devastating” injuries which had wrecked his life. He was made a spastic by brain damage in the accident when he was aged three-and-a-half. Doctors believe that he will never be able to walk or communicate verbally and will have to be looked after for the rest of his life. The agreed damages were believed to be the highest award by an English court for personal injuries in a road accident. — London.
