Let's say YOU had a darling son (call him Ben if you like) who was hit by a driver and killed; and the courts determined that the driver should have done something that might very well have allowed your little Benjamin to live even though struck by the at-fault driver. 400 quid for a death might well strike you as a little too little to pay.
