Quadriplegia is a condition
resulting from damage to the spine leading to a loss of
movement in the arms and the legs. The guidelines say
that the level of award consequent upon claims for such
injury would be between £165,000 to £205,000. In making
an assessment of particular claims, the extent of any
residual movement and the amount of pain being suffered
would be taken into account. Also to be considered in
assessing the level of claims award would be
whether the accident victim was suffering
depression. His age and life expectancy would also be
relevant. Compensation would be awarded at
the upper end of the range where there was a
significant effect on senses or communication
abilities.
