Compensation for a Passenger

Our client was involved in a road accident in which a head-on collision with a heavy goods vehicle occurred. The vehicle in which the injured person was travelling was covered by compulsory third-party liability (OC) insurance for motor vehicle owners.

The injuries sustained included, among others, a ruptured spleen, fractured ribs, a fracture of the acetabulum with dislocation of the left hip, an extensive flap wound to the left arm, and internal bleeding.

The insurance company initially paid PLN 100,000 in compensation for pain and suffering. Our law firm demonstrated that the amount paid was significantly underestimated given the severity of the injuries and the substantial health impairment suffered by the injured person. As a result, we secured an additional payment of PLN 161,426 for our client.
