A 32-year-old Indian-origin man left with serious brain injuries following a deadly road accident in the UK will get two million pounds in damages.
The High Court in London has ordered two million pounds (19.7 crore Rupees) to be given to the man, who cannot be named for legal reasons.
He worked as an agricultural worker here. He currently lives in Birmingham, but now plans to move back to India.
"He is not the man who arrived in the UK and as a result of the terrible injuries he has sustained, he will face a life in India which will be much less satisfactory," Justice Mitting said in his ruling at the Court on Monday.
The details of the compensation package will now be worked out forthe agricultural worker, who was employed as a fruit picker when he suffered serious brain damage and multiple broken bones when the bus he was travelling in was hit by a truck on a foggy highway in March 2012.
His barrister, Paul Bleasdale, told the Birmingham Mail that his client was "disappointed with the result of the negotiations and does not believe the compensation package is sufficient".
Jasminder Singh Dhesi, the driver of the bus, pleaded guilty to being drunk when his vehicle, carrying 34 passengers, broke down three times and was hit by the truck while broken-down for the third time.
A passenger Liaquat Ali and truck driver William Mapstone both had died as a result of the crash.
Dhesi, 53, was jailed for six years in 2013 after he admitted causing two deaths by dangerous driving.
