A man who suffered permanent injuries after falling from a moving bus has been awarded compensation.
Vincenzo Bollito, 36, had been on a night out with his family and friends in the West End in 2005.
He was on the 159 Arriva London Bus and had stood up to disembark. However, while he was still in between the doors, the driver closed them and accelerated off down the road.
Mr Bollito was thrown from the vehicle and sustained serious head injuries that left him with brain damage.
As a result, he now has memory problems and impaired sight which mean he is dependent on his family and cannot work.
Legal action was taken against Arriva and after a long battle, a judge has agreed that the driver was negligent in not taking into account the risks to Mr Bollito when he drove away.
The victim will now receive a £1.3 million lump sum and £31,500 annually for life in compensation.
Anyone who is injured as a result of a bus accident or from the driver making an error such as this may be entitled to damages and should seek legal advice.
