| £1.25m settlement of a mTBI case involving a victim buffering the effects of a prior TBI C sustained a mild TBI triggering profound vestibular symptoms and disruption to a delicate coping strategy he was employing to buffer the effects of an earlier significant TBI 20 + years earlier. The effect of the additional symptoms had a disproportionate impact on such an eggshell skull victim resulting in an early termination of his working life and need for substantial support. The facts gave rise to arguments regarding vulnerability, whether the alleged concussion in the index incident was sufficient to have caused any further material organic damage to the inner ear and a collapse of earlier coping strategies, and whether the accident was the proximate cause for a deterioration in his quality of life against eth backdrop of alleged unrelated stressors. The settlement reflected substance in his claim that the accident, however modest objectively, was the material trigger for the deterioration in his levels of function that otherwise would not have occurred but for the accident. |
