Case studies

Our client was working as a waitress in a public house when she sustained injury to her foot. She had entered the stock room to retrieve some stock to replenish the bar when a large gas canister, used for pumps within the public house, suddenly and without warning fell towards her and landed on her left foot.

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.
