A passenger injury settlement has been secured by a 48-year-old woman who suffered a back and neck injury in a 2009 car crash near Blackburn in Lancashire.
Her claim gained some local media coverage because the defendant in the case was the woman's ex-husband, a notorious local stand-up comedian.
No win, no fee solicitors representing the factory worker's passenger injury claim succeeded in negotiating a four-figure out-of-court settlement with the insurance company of the man responsible for causing the crash.
In a separate criminal case related to the incident, the driver pleaded guilty to driving while intoxicated, driving recklessly and driving without due care and attention.
In an interview with a local newspaper, the claimant said that she had "foolishly" believed her ex-husband when he told her he'd only had one drink and was fit to drive.
