01/01/2000
We just wanted to say thank you. We will never be able to repay you or express how grateful we are to you for all the support and help. There would have been no one in the world that we would have had in preference to you to act for us.
John, Newcastle Upon TyneScott was on his way to the gym when he stopped to say hello to a friend. They stood chatting on the pavement at the corner of the road.
Appearing on GMTV today to tell his story, Scott told presenters Fern and Phillip how a speeding driver lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a lamppost next to where they were standing.
The car crashed into Scott, pinning him against the wall. He was taken to hospital in severe pain.
As a result of the accident Scott had to have his left leg amputated below the knee. His right leg was also seriously injured. He can't walk and now uses a wheelchair.
Jonathan Betts, Scott's solicitor negotiated an interim payment for Scott under the rehabilitation code of best practice. This has enabled Scott to have an extension built on the side of his house, to buy a specialist wheelchair, and to buy a car specially adapted for his needs.
