Claims arising from face lift surgery are, sadly, common. We have advised on a number of cases in this area.

A young woman, who was self-conscious of her breast asymmetry and their size relative to her stature, sought surgical advice to lift her breasts and improve her appearance and confidence.

Our client tripped and fell on exiting the lift because it had failed to reach ground level. As a result of falling to the ground, our client sustained a fractured wrist.

Our client worked as an HGV driver for a haulage firm. Part of his job involved repetitive work opening and shunting large high-sided curtain HGV trailers many times a day.
