£1.8 million settlement for Andrew Ward

October 8, 2024

Andrew Ward from Exchange Chambers secured a settlement of £1,800,000 at a Joint Settlement Meeting in September 2024 on behalf of a claimant, CH, who suffered a severe Traumatic Brain Injury (“TBI”), maxilla-facial injuries and a spinal fracture when a lorry collided with his car on the M58 motorway. The claimant suffered a profound personality change as a result of his TBI.

Andrew commented that: “Firstly, the case underscores the need for empathy and soft skills when representing the Claimant and his family in a serious TBI case. Secondly, the settlement is substantial and will provide security for the Claimant and his family going forwards. I wish them all the very best for the future.”

In addition to the settlement of £1.8m, the Claimant benefits from an income protection insurance policy that will pay 75% of his basic salary until the age of 65 years.

Andrew is recommended in the Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners directories as a leading personal injury junior.

Andrew was instructed, and ably assisted, by Mark Belfield and Andrea Sellars of Thorneycroft Solicitors.
