Case studies

We secured £170,000 in damages for our client after he was thrown from his motorcycle and suffered significant injuries. He sustained a crush spinal fracture, a severe fracture to his left wrist and carpal tunnel syndrome.

Our client was engaged in a high activity class at her local gymnasium one evening when she jumped and landed on her right foot, experiencing immediate pain and discomfort in her ankle and the back of her calf.

We acted for the claimant in this clinical negligence claim for unnecessary gynaecological surgery against Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust.

We have achieved a settlement award for our client, who was left disabled and in severe pain for 13 months as a result of the defendant’s failure to diagnose a fracture in his left hip.

The claimant in this case received £60,000 for a private gynaecologist’s failure to amend her consent form and discuss with her the change in surgical procedure to a subtotal hysterectomy rather than a total hysterectomy.

We have recently settled a claim for a woman whose consultant breast and oncoplastic surgeon failed to take correct measurements prior to performing breast symmetrisation surgery in 2017.

Our client has been awarded damages for negligent treatment provided to her late father which led to him requiring amputations of his left lower leg and right big toe.

Despite characteristic signs of critical limb ischaemia (the most advanced form of PVD), timely treatment was not provided.
