A VICTIM in the Waverley paddle steamer crash has won a five-figure cash payout.
The person - who remains anonymous - broke an arm in the smash in September last year.
More than 20 people were injured after the world-famous ship collided with a pier at Brodick, Isle of Arran. There were 213 passengers and 26 crew on the boat at the time.

Some had to be airlifted to hospital for immediate medical treatment.
The owners of the vessel accepted liability and agreed to an out-of-court settlement fee in March 2021.
Mark Gibson, partner at Digby Brown, said: “I can confirm that last month we settled a claim for a client in relation to an injury sustained in the Waverley crash at Brodick.
“We are glad to have been able to assist in the swift conclusion of this civil action but we act for several other victims affected by this same incident so it would be inappropriate to comment further at this time.”
