The Claimant is now 35 years of age. By reason of his injuries, he is essentially paraplegic. He is unable to walk or stand. He has no movement in both legs. He is wheelchair bound.

The Claimant suffers from significant neuropathic pain, paraesthesia and burning sensations in his back and lower limbs. He also suffers from bladder, bowel and sexual dysfunction.

The Claimant has suffered a syrinx which, according to Mr. Tizzard (the Claimant’s neurosurgery expert), gives rise to a small, but material risk, that he may in future suffer a deterioration of in the neurological function affecting his upper limbs. There is also a small risk that he may suffer a further deterioration in his bladder, bowel and sexual dysfunction.
