December 16, 2024

Chris Barnes KC and Chris Allen from Exchange Chambers have recovered £19,500,000 for a claimant rendered tetraplegic following a road traffic accident. The settlement was net of a deduction for liability, with a gross value equating to just under £24,500,000.

In respect of the settlement Chris commented: “This was a tragic accident involving devastating injuries, but this settlement ensures that the Claimant’s lifelong care needs can be provided for on a commercial basis while guaranteeing ample provision for aids, adaptations, therapies and treatment to ensure the highest quality of living. It was a pleasure to work closely with the hugely experienced and true catastrophic injury specialist Darren Hughes of Slater & Gordon”

Chris and Chris were instructed by Darren Hughes of Slater & Gordon, Manchester.
