  Biker whose leg was left 4cm shorter after being crushed by car gets payout

  五年前,一名摩托车手在一场可怕的撞车事故中被汽车压碎,几乎失去了一条腿,现在他终于收到了一笔赔偿,用于资助他正在进行的康复治疗。

  2018年6月,66岁的约翰·卡斯尔顿(John Castleton)在伯明翰的哈伯恩(Harborne)骑车时,一辆汽车从他前面驶出,导致他的左腿和脚严重受伤。

  他有几处骨折,血管和软组织受损,失血过多,四肢失去了4厘米的骨头。

  约翰几乎完全失去了他的腿,但外科医生在紧急手术中挽救了他的腿,随后在伊丽莎白女王医院又进行了六次漫长的手术。

  他在医院住了七个星期,需要轮椅才能走动,自从事故发生后就无法重返工作岗位。

  约翰的腿也被放置在一个特殊的金属框架里两年,以拉伸他的腿,让近4厘米的骨头重新长出来,以帮助愈合过程。

  重伤律师欧文·米切尔现在已经从司机的保险公司获得了一笔未公开的和解金,以帮助他康复。

  来自埃德巴斯顿的约翰曾在英国国家医疗服务体系(NHS)担任心理咨询师,他说:“恢复的道路并不容易,但我正在慢慢地走下去,我决心坚持下去。”

  “我看到了隧道尽头的曙光。

  “由于我正在进行康复治疗,失去一条腿的风险大大降低了,这对我来说是一个巨大的解脱。”

  “当我觉得锻炼太难或太痛苦的时候,我会提醒自己这一点。

  “我也得到了桑德拉、我的家人和朋友、许多专业人士和SWFA的大力支持,没有他们,我永远不会有现在的成就。”

  “我很高兴也很荣幸能在Solihull ' So Go!”运动。

  “我希望我能激励像我一样运动困难的人,帮助他们改善身心健康。”

  “通过在SWFA做志愿者,我也想回馈帮助我康复的慈善机构。”

  “每次骑车,我得到的不仅仅是锻炼。

  “虽然我还不确定我的未来会怎样,但我知道我很幸运能活着,而且我的左腿还在。”

  “分享我的故事是我对每一个一直在我身边的人表示感谢的方式,我也希望它能成为一个警告,提醒司机们在路上要小心,‘想想自行车!’”

  “我的生活在一瞬间就改变了,我不想让任何人像我一样受苦。”

  托尼·诺特是欧文·米切尔律师事务所的重伤专业律师,他代表约翰说:“过去的五年对约翰来说非常艰难,因为那天他遭受了改变他一生的伤害。”

  “然而,他表现出了克服磨难、继续康复的决心和动力。”

  “在桑德拉和家人的帮助下,他努力康复,并被选中参与一项运动,鼓励人们通过多运动变得更健康、更快乐。”

  “虽然没有什么可以弥补约翰所经历的一切,但我们会继续确保他得到他需要的持续护理和治疗,以最大限度地恢复健康。”

  他还想分享自己的故事,提醒人们在路上要小心,司机们要“想想自行车!”

  “通过我们的工作,我们经常看到无辜的道路使用者因他人的行为而面临毁灭性的后果。”

  由慈善机构Brake组织的道路安全周将于11月19日至25日举行。
