height=\"225\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-7157\" \/>Over the weekend I read about the tragic story of Mr Andrew Chin who was left with severe brain injuries after a horrendous <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theinjurylawyers.co.uk\/road_traffic_accidents.php\">road traffic accident<\/a> in June 2008.\u00a0 The <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailypost.co.uk\/news\/north-wales-news\/2008\/10\/06\/a55-car-crash-wiped-caernarfon-man-s-memory-55578-21972766\/\">Daily Post<\/a><\/em> reports that Mr Chin was sat in his car which was parked in a lay-by when another car collided into his rear.\u00a0 As a result, Mr Chin\u2019s head went straight into his steering wheel and his <strong>brain suffered a bleed<\/strong>.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>Incredibly, despite Mr Chin having only a one in ten chance of survival and spending two weeks on a life support machine, he survived.\u00a0 That said, Mr Chin has since suffered severe memory loss, and requires round the clock assistance in his everyday life.\u00a0 In a recent judgment at the Liverpool Crown Court, <strong>Mr Chin was awarded \u00a33.6million in compensation<\/strong>.\u00a0 The negligent third party driver has also since been found guilty of driving without due care and attention.<\/p>\n<p>It is not for every <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theinjurylawyers.co.uk\/road_traffic_accidents.php\">road traffic accident<\/a> that the innocent and injured party will receive such a vast sum in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theinjurylawyers.co.uk\/100-percent-compensation-4u.php\">compensation<\/a>.\u00a0 In fact, in many straightforward Road Traffic Accident cases with relatively minor injuries, you are likely to receive less than <strong>\u00a310,000 in compensation<\/strong>.\u00a0 The reason Mr Chin was awarded such a large sum was to take in to account his need for future care.\u00a0 As Mr Chin\u2019s wife says, the accident has \u2018<em>turned our lives upside down as its robbed Andrew of his independence\u2026He still has to have rehabilitation for his head injury and physical injuries\u2026every day\u2026To know we will always be looked after is a huge relief for us all<\/em>.\u2019\u00a0 The compensation also took into account Mr Chin\u2019s loss of earning.\u00a0 Prior to the accident Mr Chin had been in the Territorial Army as a driver; something he will never be able to resume.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theinjurylawyers.co.uk\/\">The
