Summary of the facts
The case relates to a personal injury claim arising out of a road traffic accident in Spain and brought against the MIB in England. On 21 July 2017, the claimant who was a young British man, attended a wedding in Mallorca with his girlfriend. In the early hours of the morning, the claimant left on his own to find a taxi back to the hotel. When he was close to the centre of a nearby road, a white minivan (which it transpired was uninsured), collided with him and dragged him under its axle along the road surface for nearly 200 feet. The claimant sustained severe brain injuries as a result.
