Really? Think like his lawyer would, be creative... let's see here:

your honour, as a result of this incident, my client has been left severely emotionally damaged; suffers from post traumatic stress disorder, constant nightmares resulting in insomnia and inability to keep a job resulting in lost wages, loss of apetite, severe anxiety around roads and vehicles and frequent, terrifying flashbacks.... his life has been absolutely shattered by the event. $$$ :D

Latest Toyota press conference

Sikes story is at odds with the findings of the investigation according to Toyota and to a draft congressional memo obtained by CNN.

"While a final report is not yet complete, there are strong indications that the driver's account of the event is inconsistent with the findings of the preliminary analysis," Toyota said in a prepared statement.

The car also did not show damage consistent with the engine having been running at full throttle while the brakes were on, according to the report.
...
The car's front brakes showed significant wear and overheating, Toyota said. That kind of wear and heat would be consistent with the brakes being lightly applied over a long period of time, executives said at the press event.

You'll lose power assisted brakes, they still work but you really really gotta stomp on them. In addition to that, you'll lose power steering which at that speed doesn't matter, I'd be more worried about the steering wheel locking up.
