The family of an Eastbourne police officer left comatose in the wake of a car accident with another driver has decided to bring a personal injury compensation claim for £300,000 in damages, experts say.

Police sergeant Wendy Dowman, forty one years of age, was left in a coma due to her injuries when she was struck by a trailer that had become detached from a nearby Land Rover as she drove through Hellingly, according to the Eastbourne Herald newspaper.  Ms Dowman was rushed by air ambulance to the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel in the wake of the incident, where she was transferred to a Salisbury specialised care unit after it was discovered that she had been suffering from severe brain injuries.

Ever since she was involved in the accident, the police sergeant has been in a semi-coma, needing around the clock care and necessitating her to be fed through the use of a tube.  The driver of the Land Rover, Jonathan Hobden, is now being sued for personal injury compensation on the grounds that he had neglected to secure the trailer by forgetting to put the safety pin in his vehicle’s tow bar.

Other allegations made against Mr Hobden included that he had been driving the Land Rover while it was not properly fitted with a braking cable, and that he had neglected to control and manage the trailer in the proper manner.  The case is scheduled to be heard in London’s High Court in the near future.
