Japanese road traffic victim wins £5 million compensation

Rodney Nelson-Jones conducted the claim of a 19 year old Japanese girl who sustained serious brain and spinal injuries in a road crash in England.  

After nearly four months in-patient treatment in an English hospital, she was transported by air ambulance back to Japan where after another six months in hospital she returned to her parents’ home.

Three interim payments totalling £1 million helped to pay for the air ambulance, a new house which was built around her needs and a team of professional carers.

The claim was eventually settled for £5 million, with the balance of £4 million paid into a Japanese trust.
