Terrible damage to Ms Shoesmith's reputation.
And reassuring to see that her reputation is worth at least ten times as much as an accident victim's legs.

(turns off sarcasm alarm)
Te claim that she would never work again is somewhat inconsistent with the claim for compensation.
She is only entitled to compensation if she is found to be not at fault.
And, if she is found to be not at fault, why should she never work again?
Still, hey ho, give her a huge award and let the tax payers take that one on the chin.
Nice to have such a well pai, and well compensated, job with so little apparent responsibility.
