Case studies

We have recently settled a claim against the West Hertfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for a client who suffered pain and emotional distress following a delay in performing an appendectomy (the removal of an appendix).

We have settled a medical negligence claim against East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust after our client’s baby daughter was tragically stillborn, following negligent management of her pregnancy.

We have secured settlement for a client who pursued a clinical negligence claim against Royal Surrey County Hospital. The claim arose following a negligent delay in diagnosing and removing an object retained within our client’s left eye, which caused our client to suffer a severe infection and led to complete loss of sight from his left eye.

We have represented a young girl in her clinical negligence claim, which arose from a delay in the diagnosis and treatment of her dislocated hips at birth. We investigated her early paediatric care and evidenced the failure to make a timely diagnosis of hip dysplasia.

We have represented a client with a claim arising from poor midwifery care following delivery of her child. It was our client’s case that a large piece of retained placenta was negligently missed during her daughter’s birth which took place by caesarean section.

We have recently settled a claim against the Rochdale Infirmary for a client who was not properly informed of the risks associated with the use of transvaginal tapes.

We have secured settlement for a client who pursued a clinical negligence claim against her private maxillofacial surgeon and The London Clinic (the hospital). The claim arose following her wisdom tooth extraction surgery in March 2017, during which she suffered a burn to her lower lip and cheek.

We were instructed to pursue a claim for unnecessary urogynaecology surgery by a client who was wrongly advised that she needed an operation for mild stress incontinence when conservative treatment would have been successful.

We achieved a settlement for a young woman left seriously disabled by failures in her care at Hull Royal Infirmary, which led to a delay in diagnosis of cauda equina syndrome.

Our client underwent a laparoscopic cholecystectomy (the removal of her gallbladder) as she was suffering from pain due to gallstones. The operation was performed negligently and her bile duct was severed during surgery.

Our client was training to be a medical doctor when he was diagnosed with an abdominal tumour.

A claim was made in relation to injuries sustained shortly after our client’s birth. Our client developed pneumococcal meningitis, which would have been avoided with appropriate treatment. Hearing loss was subsequently identified as a result of the infection.
