Snowmobile accident victim to hear damages claim ruling
The High Court is due to deliver a ruling on the no win no fee compensation claim of a personal trainer who became paralysed from below the chest, as a result of a ski-doo holiday accident.
The 41-year-old Northamptonshire woman had been on holiday at an Italian alpine resort, when she suffered a severe spinal personal injury after losing control of her high performance snowmobile.
No win no fee injury lawyers representing the claimant allege that the organisers of the snowmobile trip, which promised customers the opportunity to "feel like 007 in the mountains...taste the adrenalin of driving your own snow-mobile over the mysterious evening pistes", in fact offered very little in the way of safety instruction or emergency response advice.
The defendant in the case counter said that they were never responsible for the claimant's safety and argue that the snowmobile supplier should instead be considered liable.
