Case Study
The ToPaS scheme has helped many hundreds of service personnel and MoD employees since its inception. Many of these people were injured in a variety of accidents whilst on duty, some of which have been serious, such as the case-study outlined below.
Mr. X, formerly serving in the Grenadier Guards, was involved in a serious road traffic accident on 6th October 2001, whilst he was travelling as a back seat passenger in a Landrover with 3 other soldiers on the A11 in Cambridgeshire. Mr. X sustained serious head injuries as a result of the accident, leading to his medical discharge from the Army.
The accident occurred as a result of a motorist leaving his stationary vehicle unattended on the outside lane of the A11. Another driver collided with the parked vehicle, which in turn collided with the Landrover, causing it to spin and turn over two or three times. Mr. X was thrown about inside the Landrover, and ended up in the road sustaining serious head injuries. The other 3 soldiers travelling in the Landrover also suffered injuries.
Mr. X subsequently contacted the ToPaS team, and his case was accepted. Advice and support was immediately offered to Mr. X and his family in regard to pursuing substantial compensation against the driver responsible for the accident.
Although his case has still to be concluded, the ToPaS solicitors have helped to secure a formal admission of liability from the person responsible for the accident, as well as assistance in securing an interim compensation payment of £140,000 for Mr. X to buy a new home now that he has left the Army.
His overall compensation claim will include loss of earnings (as he is unlikely to work again) and substantial care. It is anticipated that his total compensation will be in excess of £1 million. ToPaS is also assisting 3 other soldiers who were injured in the same accident.
