£30,000 settlement for back injury

A man who severely injured his back after a car knocked him off his scooter has received £30,000 in compensation in an out of court settlement. He was on his way to work and was approaching a junction near to where he lives when a car which had just pulled out of an adjacent side street struck him on his right hand side. He was thrown from his scooter and landed flat on his back. He continues to have on-going back problems which are expected to be resolved with further treatment.
