A newly married man whose sex drive became uncontrollable after he suffered a head injury at work won more than £3m damages at the high court yesterday.
Stephen Tame, 29, had been married to Sarah, 30, for eight months when he fell from a gantry while working in a cycle warehouse in January 2002. Although he recovered from the accident after two years of treatment, the injury unleashed a libido that could not be kept in check, the court was told.
Judge Michael Harris, awarding £3.166m damages, said Mr Tame had misbehaved in the presence of women, watched pornographic videos and called phone sex lines.
His loss of inhibition also led to him making embarrassing remarks and interrupting conversations.
Mr Tame's lawyer, Bill Braithwaite QC, said his client had visited a prostitute and had an affair with a 57-year-old woman, which the judge said could destroy his marriage. The accident left him impatient and aggressive, the judge said. Doubts over the future of his marriage meant he would require professional care to rebuild his life
