Ear, nose and throat negligence claims
We recently settled a substantial claim for damages against a GP for a client who suffered a delay in the management of an ear infection resulting in permanent visual damage, which should have been avoided if she had been properly assessed.
Our client underwent rhinoplasty under the care of an Austrian plastic surgeon through Surgicare in the UK. The surgery was unsatisfactory, both aesthetically and as our client experienced problems with sensation.
