Case studies

We settled a claim against the gynaecology team of a South West hospital for alleged consecutive failings in our client’s management over a three year period.

We recovered £750,000 in damages for a client who suffered multiple injuries in a road traffic accident in France. The settlement was particularly significant since the defendant’s French insurers originally offered him EUR 11,000.

We settled a claim against Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust following the alleged negligent mismanagement of our client’s orthopaedic treatment for a wrist fracture in 2002, when our client was nine years old.

We secured damages for a cyclist badly injured, suffering multiple fractures, as a result of another cyclist’s negligence.

We agreed the settlement of a claim against Basildon Hospital for a number of alleged failings in the management of our client’s wrist fracture, which resulted in a significant delay in surgery and in turn, caused our client to suffer with many avoidable long-term problems.

We acted for a client who was the victim of clinical negligence while on a cruise. Her claim was governed by the Athens Convention. The defendant cruise liner was also the supplier of a package holiday within the meaning of the Package Tours, Package Holidays and Package Travel Regulations.

We represented a 12-year-old child who sustained injury while travelling on a flight from England to Turkey. During the journey, a crew member spilt boiling water on our client’s right arm causing significant burns.

We are acting for a client who was injured on her return journey to the UK. She was travelling from Palma Airport and had passed through passport control. However, on her way to the departure gate, she slipped on some liquid that had been spilt on the floor.

Our client requires wheelchair assistance when travelling by air. On arrival at Manchester Airport, she was transferred into a vehicle used to transport passengers with limited mobility from the tarmac in front of the aircraft to the arrivals lounge. There was one driver and one person providing assistance.

Our client, a keen jogger, was out running along a local route in high visibility clothing when she was hit by an oncoming vehicle while crossing the road. She was knocked down and sustained a fracture to the left humerus and to the left fibula.

We have recently settled a claim for a client who suffered an injury to her lower eyelids from dermal filler injections. Our client was not warned that such an injury could occur and would not have proceeded with the procedure if she had been aware of this.

We were instructed to investigate the delayed diagnosis and treatment of wet macular degeneration in an extremely sprightly 81 year old lady who was very active in the community and was still working part time. Due to an administrative error, her referral for investigations for suspected wet macular degeneration was delayed and she was not seen within the mandatory two week period.
