As a result of the assaults, Mr Hook suffered bilateral fractures of both eye
sockets. His face and eyes were extensively swollen. His vision has been
permanently impaired; he now needs to wear glasses. He has numbness around the
eyes as a result of nerve damage. He has had to have surgery to correct a deviated
nasal passage. His teeth were broken and he now has to wear a dental plate. As a
result of the fractures and dislocation of his fingers, he has recovered only 50% use
of his left hand, which is his master hand. He has suffered post-concussion and posttraumatic
stress symptoms, including personality changes and problems with
memory and concentration. His personal life suffered as a result of his injuries. He
was unable to work for six months and has suffered significant financial losses.
