Personal Injury Payment in North East
May I thank you for the way my accident claim has been handled, after my accident my confidence was very low indeed but the sympathetic handling of my case restored my confidence.
John, Sheffield After a young Newcastle man was left severely disabled in a car crash law firm Irwin Mitchell has secured the largest personal injury payout in the North East's history.
In October 2002 David Dei-Ceci was on his way to a camping trip in the Kielder Forest, when the driver of the car he was in lost control and crashed into a field.
As a result of being thrown from the car Mr Dei-Ceci, sustained serious brain injuries, because of these injuries David now requires round-the-clock, live-in care.
To cover the costs of future care needs the High Court in London awarded a settlement of £6.3m, the claim was made against the drivers insurers.

Neurotrauma specialist John Davis, at Irwin Mitchell in Newcastle, said the huge payout reflected Mr Dei-Ceci's condition.
He said: "This is a huge payout and is the largest ever to be awarded in the north east, but it has been carefully calculated to meet David Dei-Ceci's demanding care needs, now and for the rest of his life.
We are delighted to have been able to secure such a settlement for David, whose life has been altered indescribably by what happened."
