Settlement secured for woman following chemical burn during chemotherapy

Specialist medical negligence solicitor Vanessa Wand has secured a settlement of £122,000 for Laura* following an extravasation injury whilst chemotherapy was being administered for breast cancer.

As a result of the injury, Laura suffered significant pain and blistering to her dominant arm and she was admitted to hospital for treatment. Following treatment she has on-going pain and weakness, meaning she requires assistance with some activities of daily living.

There was no cost to Laura in bringing the claim which was funded by a home insurance policy.
