Travel litigation specialists at London and South East law firm Penningtons Solicitors LLP have won a €1.25 million compensation claim for William Kane, a 55 year old man from Newcastle, who was badly injured in a hit-and-run accident involving a drink driver in County Kildare, Ireland, while working on an overseas contract for a UK based construction company.

Kieran Mitchell of Penningtons Solicitors LLP's travel law team, who represented Mr Kane, said: "This case highlights the need for employers to take out suitable insurance policies that can protect their employees in the event of a major accident. The funds secured for Mr Kane will enable him to rebuild his life and provide the level of daily care and support he needs."
