## Resource

A South London woman receives a £1.3 million settlement after being struck by a police van in 2019 while crossing the street—leaving her with life-altering head injuries and permanently ending her ability to work or live independently. Though found partly at fault, she’ll still receive 40% of the damages, with her family hoping the funds secure better long-term care. The judge praised the family’s dedication, calling it “outstanding,” while acknowledging the money won’t cover all needs. The Metropolitan Police extended their best wishes as the family looks ahead with cautious hope. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
