A motorist negligently causes a collision with another car which is driven by a woman. As a result of the negligent collision, the woman suffers several losses.
She suffers serious hand and arm injuries which will require extensive physiotherapy. The woman intends to pay for private physiotherapy as the waiting list on the National Health Service is many months long. Her car is badly damaged and requires substantial repairs. Her laptop is on the passenger seat of the car and is damaged beyond repair. The woman uses the laptop for business purposes. The woman’s antique engagement ring worth £10,000 is destroyed in the accident as the diamonds in it shatter in the force of the collision.
