Neil Barker was seriously injured in a motorbiking accident suffering head and face injuries, later needing to have his eye socket rebuilt. He was deemed unfit to manage his finances by the Court of Protection and was provided with a solicitor from the firm under the Mental Capability Act. Mr. Barker was compensated with £1.7 million.
By contacting several personal injury lawyers and consultancy firms, Mr. Barker recently found out that he could have been compensated a lot more had the case gone to court. The Court of Protection has therefore cost him over £50,000 pounds and Mr. Barker is still not allowed to manage his own money.
