A bus driver from Walthamstow, London, E17 has secured £10000.00 compensation following injuries sustained in a road traffic accident. Britain’s largest Trade Union, Unite, secured the compensation for Cenk Suleyman Ahmet in association with specialist personal injury solicitors, Pattinson & Brewer.
Mr Ahmet is employed by Arriva. In September 2005 he was driving his double-decker bus when a driver approaching from the opposite direction lost control of his car and smashed into the bus.
Mr Ahmet explains
“As I was driving along, I noticed a silver car lose control, cross the road and head straight for my bus. I tried to steer away from the car but there was insufficient time to avoid it. The car smashed into my bus. I was thrown around in my seat. Some of my passengers were thrown to the floor. An ambulance was called and I was taken to hospital. I suffered from pain in my neck and as time went on, the pain increased. I also suffered from numbness and tingling in my right hand. I was unable to work for three months after this accident”.
Representing Mr Ahmet, Caroline Phelan from Pattinson & Brewer Solicitors says
“Mr Ahmet suffered very serious injuries in this accident as a result of a negligent driver. The driver at fault was represented by Irwin Mitchell. The claim was strenuously defended and settled one day before trial. I am pleased that Mr Ahmet has now been awarded the compensation to which he was clearly entitled.”
