Compensation win for elephant attack
Following a seven-year struggle a 46-year-old woman has finally achieved a personal injury compensation claim victory for being gored by an elephant in Kenya.
The woman was attacked by the elephant in 2000 near a wildlife lodge owned by a member of the British aristocracy.
Her personal injury compensation claim payout will account for the fact that the mother of three underwent 16 separate bouts of surgery on injuries to her abdomen, thigh, calf and chest.
The hearing at the Kenyan High Court now clears the way for the woman, wife of a high-ranking diplomat at the British Embassy in Nairobi, to receive as much as £800,000 for her personal injury compensation claim.
