SINGAPORE - A Swiss national, who suffered traumatic brain injuries after a car crashed into his bicycle, was awarded over $13.6 million in damages by the High Court.
It is believed to be a record sum for personal injury claims.
Mr Christian Joachim Pollmann, 45, who was the executive director of Swiss bank Julius Baer, was so seriously injured that his speech is now severely impaired, he has to depend on a live-in caregiver, and will probably never work again.
