Our Michael Han acted for the mother of a young boy who was injured in a road traffic accident. He was crossing the road when the green man just came up. The Defendant/driver beat the red light and collided into the boy.
As a result, he suffered very serious brain injuries. The tragic accident left him a quadriplegic. He was totally dependent on his mother and siblings to take care of him for life. Based on the medical evidence submitted, the boy has a life expectancy of only 38 years old.
The accident has changed his life and took everything from him. His mother had to give up her work to take care of him. After a trial on assessment of damages, the court awarded a total sum of S$1.25m.
Dissatisfied with the decision, an appealed was filed. The hearing was heard before Justice George Wei. He allowed the appeal, and revised the award upward to S$1.64m.
