Previous Cases
£21 million settlement for a severely disabled teenager whose brain injury and cerebral palsy was caused by midwife mistakes during his mother’s labour and delays in his delivery.
$23 million settlement in a kernicterus brain injury claim against an NHS trust for a New York resident child after community midwives failed to recognise that he had jaundice in the days after his birth. We pursued the claim in the English courts against the NHS hospital where our client’s neonatal treatment took place. His compensation reflected the cost of meeting his needs in New York, where he and his family now live.
£3.6 million settlement for a child who suffered a neonatal meningitis brain injury and cerebral palsy after hospital staff failed to recognise that he needed antibiotic treatment for infection.
£1.5 million lump sum plus payments of £225,000pa for life in a settlement for a man who was left with tetraplegia (paralysis of all four limbs and body) after falling from the hospital chair where he was left to sleep following unnecessary spinal surgery.
£800,000 settlement for a 40-year-old man left with impaired mobility, bowel, bladder, and sexual function after his GP failed to diagnose and act on his symptoms of cauda equina syndrome (CES).
£1.4 million settlement for a young woman whose Erb’s palsy was caused by a brachial plexus injury at birth. Our client approached us as an adult, 14 years after another firm of solicitors had advised her parents that her claim, which they valued at £6,000, was too difficult to prove.
£950,000 settlement for a 60-year-old man with diabetes who needed a below knee amputation after GP surgery staff delays in diagnosis and treatment of Charcot foot, which he developed after a minor injury.
£800,000 settlement for a young woman who was left with permanent, severe pain, and physical and psychological injuries after GP and hospital delays in diagnosis and treatment of her cervical cancer. By the time her diagnosis was made, her tumour had spread too far for surgery. Her severe injuries were caused by the need for radical treatment with chemo-radiotherapy.
£750,000 settlement in a strongly defended claim for a former nurse whose entire left hand, right hand fingers and thumb, toes of her left foot, and right leg below the knee needed amputation after negligent treatment of post-surgical sepsis and necrotising fasciitis. She also suffered a psychological injury.
£250,000 settlement for the bereaved widow of a man who died from stage 4 cancer after two GPs misdiagnosed his malignant melanoma (skin cancer) as a verruca.
£800,000 settlement for the bereaved family of a 28-year-old mother who died from ovarian cancer after years of negligent failure by a hospital to properly diagnose and remove an ovarian cyst.
