The 9-year-old boy who was accidentally run over by his own father while on a family outing was finally awarded compensation worth a staggering £8.1 million in today’s currency. This record-setting amount was a court-approved award for the child who will need lifelong care.
After suffering severe spinal and brain injuries in March of 2002 when he was just two-and-a-half years old, the boy is left with severe physical and mental limitations and is dependent on a wheelchair.
A NY Brain Injury Attorney remembers that the incident happened on a family trip to Mead Open Farm, near Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire. The boy’s father failed to see him, and when he reversed the car, he drove over the toddler.
