A man has taken his ex-girlfriend to the high court in a bid to claim compensation from her.

Luke Jones, now 25, was travelling in a golf buggy being driven by Amber Mounty while on holiday in 2006, the South Wales Argus reports.

However, she lost control and Mr Jones’ leg was crushed under the vehicle.

He had to have his leg amputated and also suffered problems with his liver and an MRSA infection while at hospital.

Mr Jones has now taken the case further as, although Ms Mounty’s insurance company has admitted liability, the two sides are unable to agree upon the amount of compensation that should be paid.

He claims he will be unable to get an equivalent job to that he had before the accident and that he still suffers psychological problems.

Anyone injured in such an accident should seek legal advice as they could be eligible for compensation if it can be proved that another party was responsible for the incident.
