This was a personal injury claim arising out of a road traffic accident, which raised multi-jurisdictional issues resulted in a seven-figure settlement.
The claimant was Russian and the defendant a British national. Both the claimant and the defendant worked in Macedonia, whilst the accident occurred in Greece and the motor insurers are Austrian.
The claimant, represented by a member of our team, had a very well-paid and successful job in the European Union when she suffered a very serious brain injury and orthopaedic injuries.
This was a catastrophic injury claim in which quantum was significant as the claimant cannot work again and will require lifelong care.
