Recent work highlights

• Achieving a substantial award for a young adult with hearing loss and a subtle neurological deficit caused by meningitis.
• Settling a birth injury claim for a child with cerebral palsy who is affected by relatively modest physical issues but suffers from debilitating anxiety and fatigue which significantly impact the child’s day-to-day life. The award includes a significant loss of earnings claim.
• Successfully resolving a claim on behalf of a child who sustained a brain injury at birth and was diagnosed with cerebral palsy within a few months. The child is affected by significant physical and cognitive deficits and will require round the clock care for the rest of his life. This is a case of maximum severity where damages were agreed following settlement discussions.
• Securing a settlement on behalf of a medical doctor whose career was affected by damage caused to his femoral nerve during surgery where the procedure performed was more substantial than required and was almost certain to lead to this injury.
